Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus, a heterogeneous metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia with disturbances in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. Vanadium in the form of nanoparticles has been known to exert better action as an anti-diabetic agent. This study was aimed to assess the histological changes in the liver, kidney and pancreas of STZ-induced diabetic rats following treatment with vanadium pent oxide nanoparticles. Histopathological studies on the tissues of liver, kidney and pancreas in diabetic animals showed degenerative changes and treatment with Nano vanadium was able to partially restore the degenerative changes indicating the protective effect of vanadium by normalizing biochemical and histological abnormalities in diabetic rats.
