Abstract
The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of five organic vanadium complexes supplement and a small dose of insulin injection on V, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ca, and K level in the streptozotocin diabetic rat's kidney during a 5-week treatment with the tested complexes. In all groups of animals, metal level in the lyophilized kidney organs was investigated by means of the proton induced X-ray emission method. Tissue vanadium level was naturally higher in vanadium-treated rats. The maximum level of vanadium was observed in the kidney (x(mean) = 16.6 μg/g). The influence of vanadium administration on other metal level in rat's tissue was also investigated. Spectacular influence of vanadium action was observed on copper and zinc level in examined tissue.Entities:
