ABSTRACT

The present study was aimed to find out the protective effect of whole barley grain administration on lipid peroxidation (LPO), activities. of antioxidant. enzymes in erythrocytes and insulin gene expression.of pancreas in streptozotocin (STZ)-Induced, diabetic rats. Experimental diabetes, Single was triggered. Dose of the STZ injection (60 mg/kg, i.p.). The tissue measured the oxidative stress. LPO amount, reduced content of glutathione (GSH) and enzymatic activities of Dismutase (SOD) superoxide, catalase (CAT). The peroxidase glutathione of erythrocytes (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR). Blood rise, glucose, LPO level with Reduction and decrease in GSH content. Those were enzymatic operations. Observed distinguishing characteristics of monitoring rats for diabetes. Administration oral of a grain for barley. Complete grain to this caused a significant 42 days. Reduction of degree of LPOs. Rats treated in STZ (Class IV) diabetic control rats (group II).
