TLDR
Not only are oxygen radicals involved in the cause of diabetes, they also appear to play a role in some of the complications seen in long-term treatment of diabetes.

Ameliorative effect of dietary genistein on diabetes induced hyper-inflammation and oxidative stress during early stage of wound healing in alloxan induced diabetic mice.

TL;DR: Genistein supplementation is investigated as a potential therapeutic nutrient in prevention and treatment of delayed wound healing by modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress during inflammatory stage in diabetic mice and ameliorated both inflammation and antioxidant defense system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The radical scavenger edaravone counteracts diabetes in multiple low-dose streptozotocin-treated mice.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that edaravone counteracts the development of multiple low-dose streptozotocin-induced diabetes by scavenging free radicals, which are possible mediators of the immune destruction of islet beta cells.

Chromium picolinate attenuates hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of chromium picolinate supplementation on hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress was examined in male Wistar rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (50mg/kg body weight) and chromium was administered orally as chromiumpicolinate (1mg/ kg) daily for a period of four weeks after the induction of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semipurified fractions from the submerged-culture broth of Agaricus blazei Murill reduce blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the hot-water extract of the submerged-culture broth of Agaricus blazei contains an EAF having potent hypoglycemic action, which could be useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Pregravid Liver Enzyme Levels and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus During a Subsequent Pregnancy

TL;DR: Markers of liver fat accumulation, such as GGT level, are present years before pregnancy and may help to identify women at increased risk for subsequent GDM, and predicted the subsequent risk of GDM.

Journal ArticleDOI

The generation of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical, and hydroxyl radical by 6-hydroxydopamine, dialuric acid, and related cytotoxic agents.

TL;DR: The results point to a reaction between H2O2 and O2- (Haber-Weiss reaction) as a major source of the ·OH radicals and to a combined action of blocking ·OH formation as well as accelerating its removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Streptozotocin and alloxan induce DNA strand breaks and poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase in pancreatic islets.

TL;DR: It is described that both Streptozotocin and alloxan cause DNA strand breaks which stimulate nuclear poly(ADP–ribose) synthetase, thereby depleting intracellular NAD and inhibiting proinsulin synthesis in isolated pancreatic islets of rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

CuZn-superoxide dismutase, Mn-superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in pancreatic islets and other tissues in the mouse.

TL;DR: Pancreatic islets were found to belong to tissues with relatively little activity of the protective enzymes, and the deviation from other tissues in this respect is probably not large enough to explain the especially great susceptibility of islet cells to alloxan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid peroxide level in plasma of diabetic patients.

TL;DR: The data obtained with a large sample of patients, and the relation between the lipid peroxide level and the different features of the disease are dealt with.
