Abstract

The aim of the study was to reveal hypoglycemic and toxic effects of chronic peroral treatment of nondiabetic
rats with compounds containing vanadilsulphate, or sodium metvadanate or vanadium tartrate. In the first and second groups the treatment was followed by hypoglycemia, total plasma protein, albumin and carbamide concentration together with decrease of alaninaminotransferase (ALT) aspartateaminotransferase (AST) activity. None of these effects were observed after treatment with vanadium tartrate. Possible mechanism of hypoglycemic action of vanadium-containing compounds and their pharmacological application in hyperglycemia treatment are discussed.
