Abstract: | Summary DETAPAC, an iron-chelating agent, given to male Swiss-Webster mice prior to alloxan, was able to protect the mice from the diabetogenic actions of alloxan. In contrast EDTA, another chelating agent, offered no protection. Possible mechanisms for these effects, including inhibition of hydroxyl radical formation, will be discussed.Supported in part by grant AM-27328 from the US Public Health Service. |
