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 …

An increasing evidence suggests that vanadium compounds are novel potential drugs in the
treatment of diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Vanadium has also demonstrated …

The effects of oral treatment of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes with a range of
vanadium dipicolinate complexes (Vdipic) and derivatives are reviewed. Structure–reactivity …

Low molecular weight and high molecular weight metal ion binders present in blood plasma
are shortly described. The binding of vanadium and ruthenium complexes by these …

Vanadium is omnipresent in trace amounts in the environment, in food and also in the
human body, where it might serve as a regulator for phosphate-dependent proteins …

The present review covers the environmental availability of vanadium and vanadium's
impact on the life sphere (geo-sphere, atmosphere, marine environments), as well as its …

Abstract Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), also known as amylin, is a 37-amino-acid peptide
hormone that is secreted by pancreatic islet β-cells. Amylin is complementary to insulin in …

Vanadium compounds are characterised by a broad spectrum of action in vivo and in vitro.
Their insulin-mimetic activity is manifested in their ability to normalize changes observed in …

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play a critical role in physiological signaling pathways
by controlling the level of tyrosine phosphorylation. The past decade has seen a vast …

This study presents the first systematic investigation of the anti-diabetic properties of non-
oxido VIV complexes. In particular, the insulin-mimetic activity of [VIV (taci) 2] 4+,[VIV (inoH …
