Both IDDM and NIDDM are characterized by deviations in peripheral T and B lymphocyte count, T helper : T suppressor ratio, as well as by impaired T suppressor function. These abnormalities may promote insulin antibody and other antibody production, contributing to overt diabetes mellitus development
Oxidative stress is involved in diabetes mellitus and its complications. Selenium is a nutritional antioxidant, especially because it is required for the activity of seleniumdependent glutathione peroxidase. Selenium also may have insulin-like properties and improve insulin sensitivity. However, its
Diabetes mellitus and its complications are associated with elevated oxidative stress, leading to much interest in antioxidant compounds as possible therapeutic agents. Two new classes of antioxidant compounds, the pyrrolopyrimidines and the 21-aminosteroids, are known to inhibit lipid peroxidation
