Studies on the mechanism of the insulin-mimetic effects of vanadium in streptozotocin-diabetic rats

A series of studies was conducted to examine the possible mechanism(s) involved in the insulin-mimetic effects of vanadium in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. It was hypothesized that vanadium treatment may induce a glucose-lowering effect and an overall amelioration of the diabetic state by 3...
