65Zn was injected subcutaneously in eleven rats with alloxan diabetes of five days duration and in nine control rats. Fifty hours after the injection of 65Zn the animals were killed with an overdose of ether. In the alloxan diabetic rats signs of an altered zinc metabolism were found with an increased excretion of zinc in urine and possibly also faeces and an elevated zinc concentration in the liver compared to controls. The results also indicate an altered distribution of serum zinc in alloxan treated rats. Future studies will be necessary to demonstrate whether changes in zinc metabolism are secondary to the onset of diabetes or a primary effect of alloxan treatment.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and impaired insulin efficacy, disrupts carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. The global diabetic population is expected to double by 2025, from 380 million, posing a significant health challenge. Most diabetic individuals fall into the type 1 or type 2 categories, and diabetes adversely affects various organs, such as the kidneys, liver, nervous system, reproductive system, and eyes.
