Dose dependence of PGBX, a polymeric derivative of prostaglandin B1, for normalization of hereditary diabetes of the mouse.

Abstract

A polymeric derivative of prostaglandin B1, PGBX, which reactivates phosphorylation in damaged mitochondria, is shown to normalize the high blood glucose, obesity, and excessive appetite of the hereditary diabetic mouse. The degree of normalization is shown to vary with dosage.
