Abstract
|
|
|
|
Effects of deep sea water on blood glucose and the Langerhans’ islet in STZ-induced type I diabetic mice were investigated. Results showed that diabetic symptoms in STZ-induced diabetic mice improve with a supplement of deep sea water. That is, the level of blood glucose was lower, the area of the Langerhan’ islet was wider, and the number of pancreatic β-cells was larger in the diabetic mice supplied with deep sea water than in the diabetic mice supplied with tap water. Such effects might be related to the high level of Mg²? in the deep sea water.
