Overview

Preventive vitamin D improves oxidative stress and blood rheology in rats with diabetes, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effects of vitamin D on antioxidant defense and blood rheology in diabetic rats.
  • Used forty male rats, randomly assigned to four groups including diabetic and vitamin D-supplemented groups.
  • Induced diabetes with streptozotocin and administered vitamin D orally at 300 IU/day.
  • Evaluated blood samples for antioxidant parameters and blood rheology on the 21st day.
  • Vitamin D improved antioxidant-related parameters in diabetic rats.
  • Supplementation enhanced blood rheological indices, especially with therapeutic administration.
