Tungstate is an oxyanion that has biological similarities to vanadate. In recent years, a
number of studies have shown the antidiabetic effects of oral tungstate in animal models of …

Vanadate ions, low-molecular-weight phosphate analogues, mimic most of the rapid actions
of insulin in various cell types. When administered orally to diabetic hyperglycemic rats …

Twelve peroxovanadium (pV) compounds, each containing an oxo ligand, one or two
peroxo anions, and an ancillary ligand in the inner coordination sphere of V, were …

We examined the in vivo metabolic effects of vanadyl sulfate (VS) in non-insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Six NIDDM subjects treated with diet and/or sulfonylureas were …

Compounds of the trace element vanadium exert various insulin‐like effects in in vitro and in
vivo systems. These include their ability to improve glucose homeostasis and insulin …

Trace metals play an important role in the proper functioning of carbohydrate and lipid
metabolism. Some of the trace metals are thus essential for maintaining homeostasis, while …

We demonstrated in 1985 that vanadium administered in the drinking water to streptozotocin
(STZ) diabetic rats restored elevated blood glucose to normal. Subsequent studies have …

To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of action of vanadium salts as oral hypoglycemic
agents, 16 type 2 diabetic patients were studied before and after 6 weeks of vanadyl sulfate …

Compounds of the trace element vanadium have been shown to mimic insulin in in vitro and
in vivo systems. These compounds have been found to exert anti-diabetic effects in rodent …

Organovanadium compounds have been shown to be insulin sensitizers in vitro and in vivo.
One potential biochemical mechanism for insulin sensitization by these compounds is that …
