Taurine Modulates Hyperglycemia-Mediated Oxidative Stress and Protects Hepatocytes in Experimental Diabetes
Abstract:The present study was conducted to investigate the beneficial effects of taurine (TAU) on glucose and lipid metabolism and its positive roles in the correction of oxidative stress diabetes-related complications in STZ diabetic rats. Diabetic rats showed significant (P<0.05) increase in the levels of glucose, HbA1c, AST, ALT, LDH, liver and kidney weights, urea, uric acid, creatinine and significant decrease in the levels of body and pancreas weights, insulin, pancreatic amylase, hexokinase, liver and muscle gl… Show more
