Some biochemical studies on some blood constituents in diabetic rats

Diabetes mellitus has been traditionally viewed as a metabolicdisturbance in fuel and energy handling, and more recently, asimpaired fatty acid metabolism and ectopic fat deposition leading toinsulin resistance. The astonishing advancements in molecular biologyand gene analysis tools have further traced the underlying pathologyof diabetes to subcellular levels. There are two main types of Diabetesmellitus- (DM); type I diabetes and type 11 diabetes. Type I diabetes(insulin dependent diabetes) occurs as a result of deficiency of insulindue to destructive lesions of pancreatic p-cells, and usually progresses to the stage of absolute insulin deficiency Type 2 diabetes ( non insulin - dependent diabetes) is a multi causal disease which developsslowly and in a stepwise -order. There were many chemicals incorporated in treatment and/or control of diabetes, although they have harmful side-effects and fail to significantly alter the course of diabetic complications. So, the direction to natural agehave been implicated in human/animal foods for their economical andecological values, and medicinal characters.
