Cellgevity® attenuates liver distruption, oxidative stress and inflammation in STZ-diabetic male rats

The imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the innate antioxidant defence promotes oxidative distress and contributes to tissue dysfunctions which are the hallmark of diabetic complications. Diabetic hepatic injury is less reported, yet it is a target organ damage condition r...
