Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of the microalgae in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus in Wistar rats.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (45 mg/kg). Male rats were fed on control diet supplemented or not with (10%) for a period of 2 months.

Effects of Highly-pure-enriched-cellulose Diet on Digestibility, Lipid Metabolism and Redox Status in Obese Offspring of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats.

The long-term nutritional efficacy of a highly-pure-enriched-cellulose (HPEC) diet and its effects on lipid metabolism and oxidant/antioxidant status were investigated in obese offspring of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes in pregnant rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin on day 5 of gestation. Control pregnant rats were injected with citrate buffer.
