A little over one hundred years ago, a vanadium-containing compound was assessed
clinically for use in treatment of human diabetic patients. The results were somewhat …

The understanding of the role of vanadium enzymes and of vanadium compounds (VCs) in
biology, as well as the design of new vanadium-based species for catalysis, materials …

Vanadium is an element ubiquitously present in our planet's crust and thus there are several
organisms that use vanadium for activity or function of proteins. Examples are the vanadium …

The possible use of vanadium compounds in the treatment of diabetic patients is now being
evaluated. However, previously to establish the optimal maximum dose for diabetes therapy …

The interaction of VIVO2+ ion with hemoglobin (Hb) was studied with the combined
application of spectroscopic (EPR), spectrophotometric (UV–vis), and computational (DFT …

Evidence for changes in trace mineral and vitamin metabolism as a consequence of
diabetes pathophysiology is reviewed. Emphasis is on those micronutrients which have a …

Besides its insulin-mimetic effects, vanadate is also known to have a variety of physiological
and pharmacological properties, varying from induction of cell growth to cell death and is …

In the present investigation, the effects of oral administration of sodium metavanadate,
sodium orthovanadate and vanadyl sulphate to alleviate some signs of diabetes in …

Vanadium enters cells as vanadate (V) where it is reduced to vanadyl (IV), VO 2+. Vanadate
species at plasma pH, H 2 VO 4−, and HVO 4 2− are referred to as VO 3−. To gain an insight …

This paper discusses how the activity and expression of cyclooxygenases are influenced by
vanadium compounds at anticancer concentrations and recorded in inorganic vanadium …
