The time-dependent effect of gluconasturtiin and phenethyl isothiocyanate on metabolic and antioxidative parameters in rats.

The effect of gluconasturtiin (GNST) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) on some metabolic changes and antioxidative parameters in the rat was tested using different doses of PEITC and duration of GNST or PEITC ingestion. Their effect on antioxidative processes was previously observed, however, their influence on metabolic changes is still poorly characterized. In the performed experiment, the effect of GNST (0.

Alloxan stimulation and subsequent inhibition of insulin release from in situ perfused rat pancreas.

In the performed experiment the effect of alloxan on insulin secretion by in situ perfused rat pancreas was determined. It was found that alloxan added to the perfusion medium results in a sudden, short-term release of insulin. This effect is independent on the presence of glucose (6.
