In the structure of endocrine diseases diabetes mellitus (DM) occupies the second place after the thyroid gland pathology. In 2012 there were more than one million people with diabetes in Ukraine, that is why optimization of therapy for this disease is one of the most pressing health and social problems of our time. The pathogenesis basis of the most serious complications of diabetes (thrombosis, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, cataract, etc.) is nonenzymatic glycosylation processes. Taking into account the presence of antioxidant properties [14] in recombinant receptor antagonist IL-1 raleukin and the hypoglycemic action proven in previous studies it was of interest to study its effect on the initial reactions of nonenzymatic glycosylation. This article presents the results of studying the effect of recombinant receptor antagonist IL-1 raleukin obtained in the State Research Institute of High-Purity Biopharmaceuticals of St. Petersburg on the model of dithizonic diabetes in rabbits. It has been found that on the model of dithizonic diabetes in rabbits recombinant receptor antagonist IL-1 raleukin has a strong hypoglycemic effect, which intensity is not inferior to anakinra and exceeds metformin. The results of these studies indicate the prospects of further study of the anti-diabetic properties of raleukin in order to include this drug in the treatment of type I diabetes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
