Abstract
The insulin-like activity of bis-glycinato oxovanadium (IV) complex on experimental diabetes has been studied. Rats made diabetic with streptozotocin, after one month, were fed ad libitum with bis-glycinato oxovanadium (IV) complex (30 mg/100 ml) for fifteen days. The altered blood glucose, urea, cholesterol, triglycerides, liver glycogen and the activities of liver enzymes such as hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase, were reverted to normal levels in bis-glycinato oxovanadium (IV) complex treated diabetic rats, thereby suggesting for the insulin-mimetic effect of bis-glycinato oxovanadium (IV) in experimental diabetes.
