Abstract
Conclusion
BAL, in doses of .36 -.72 mM/kg completely protected rats against a diabetogenic dose of alloxm (40 mg/kg intravenously) when the protective agent was given immmdiately preceding the alloxan injection. However, no protection was observed when the disulfhydryl compound was given 5 minutes following the alloxan. Methionine, in doses of 2.9 mM/kg, and thiourea, in doses of 7.5 mM/kg, injected immediately preceding a diabetogenic does of alloxan did not alter the course of alloxan diabetes.
