Diabetes, most widespread endocrine disorder in human
beings, is characterized by hyperglycemia, over-production of free
radicals and oxidative stress [4]. Due to the oxidative stress, an
imbalance is started between the levels of pro-oxidants and
antioxidants which lead to cellular injury in biological systems
[82]. FA helps in neutralizing the free radicals present in the
pancreas, which is produced by the use of streptozotocin, thus it
decreases the toxicity of streptozotocin. It has been discussed in
literature that the blood glucose level in case of streptozotocin
induced diabetic animals is controlled by the administration of FA.
The reduction in oxidative stress/toxicity might help the b cells to
get proliferate and radiate more insulin in the pancreas. Increased
