Influence of beta-resorcylidene aminoguanidine on selected metabolic parameters and antioxidant status of rats with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
We studied the effects of administration of beta-resorcylidene aminoguanidine (RAG) to Wistar strain rats with experimental diabetes mellitus (DM) induced by streptozotocin. The effects studied included antioxidant levels in plasma and the liver, oxidative damage of lipids represented by the formation of substances reacting with thiobarbituric acid (TBARP) and selected biochemical indicators. The administration of RAG did not significantly affect antioxidant status of diabetic rats or hemoglobin glycation and plasma concentration of fructosamine. In diabetic rats, application of RAG decreased formation of TBARP in plasma but not in the liver. Moderate steatosis of liver and increased plasma levels of triacylglycerols in diabetic rats were significantly improved by application of RAG.
