Treated diabetic mice with Vitamin A showed a significant improvement in
their body weight, fat mass, lipid profile as well as SOD, GPO and CAT
compared to Control-diabetic mice. However, Vitamin A caused no
significant change on fasting blood glucose and insulin levels.
Furthermore, plasma level of MDA was significantly elevated in diabetic
mice compared to normal mice. Diabetic mice treated with vitamin A had a
significantly reduced level of MDA, suggesting that vitamin A might have
a vital role in the protection of tissues from damage by free radicals.
