Abstract

The role of vitamin E in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oral administration of vitamin E on some of the metabolic parameters of experimental diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight at 12 weeks of age). Vitamin E (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 mg/kg body weight) was administered orally for a period of 3 weeks to normal and diabetic Wistar rats. In some experiments, Vitamin E was given either before or after the induction of diabetes mellitus. Blood glucose level and weight were recorded for each rat in different groups on a weekly basis. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed on fasted normal, diabetic and vitamin E treated rats at the end of the experiment. Vitamin E significantly (p < 0.01) reduced blood glucose levels in experimental diabetes mellitus at all doses as compared to untreated rats. Vitamin E induced weight loss in normal as well as in diabetic rats. The beneficial effect of vitamin E on the hyperglycaemia of diabetic rats was dose-dependent. Moreover, vitamin E also improved OGTT in diabetic rats compared to untreated diabetics. In conclusion, vitamin E may play a role in glucose metabolism and thus be a useful adjuvant therapy in type I diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
