Abstract
The present work was done to elucidate the possible protective and antidiabetic effect of chromium chloride (Cr) (500 mg/k.g.), sodium selenite (Se) (1.5 mg/k.g.) and Zinc sulphate (Zn) (54 mg/k.g.) supplementation in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of both Cr⁺³ and Zn⁺² as well as intraperitoneal injection of Se^-2 at concentrations of 500, 1.5 and 54 mg/kg b.w. daily, respectively for 60 days showed a significant decrease in fasting blood. The treatment also resulted in a significant increase in plasma C-peptide and trace elements Cr⁺³ and Zn⁺² and Se^-2. The trace elements exerted rapid protective effects against lipid peroxidation by scavenging of free radicals by reducing the risk of diabetic complications.
