    Molecular mechanism of antidiabetic zinc–allixin complexes: regulations of glucose utilization and lipid metabolism

    We previously reported new zinc complexes of allixin [bis(allixinato)zinc] and its derivative bis(thioallixin-N-methyl)zinc that demonstrated excellent antidiabetic activity in type 2 diabetic mellitus KKAy mice....

    Metallokinetic characteristics of antidiabetic bis(allixinato)oxovanadium(IV)-related complexes in the blood of rat

    The antidiabetic effect of vanadium is a widely accepted phenomenon; some oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been found to normalize high blood glucose levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic animals. In light o...
