[ effects of nicotine on the serum level of insulin, glucose, lipid profile, Liver Enzymes [ALT, ALP, AST] in streptozotocin-induced diabetic adult male rats]

ABSTRACT

Background: Nicotine is one of the ingredients in cigarettes. Nicotine is toxic to the brain, cardiovascular system and respiratory tract and the body tissues. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of nicotine on the enzymes alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alkaline phosphatase [ALP], glucose, and insulin lipid profile in diabetic rats.
