Methods
Male mice were randomly divided into three groups: Control- nondiabetic,
received a normal diet and water; Control-diabetic, received STZ 45mg/kg
once intraperitoneally; and Treated-diabetic, received both STZ as
before plus Vitamin A (4-IU/day) orally daily for 16 weeks. Food intake,
body weight, fat mass, fasting blood glucose, serum insulin, and lipid
profile were estimated.
Also, superoxide
dismutase (SOD), glutathione
peroxidase (GPO), catalase (CAT),
and malonaldehyde (MDA)
were measured.
