Abstract
A comparative study of the effects of an inorganic lithium salt (lithium carbonate) and an organic lithium salt (lithium ascorbate) on a model of alloxan diabetes mellitus was conducted. The use of lithium ascorbate for a month in experimental alloxan diabetes mellitus facilitates its course – the survival rate of animals increases, the level of glycemia decreases (especially when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg). Morphometric analysis showed that lithium ascorbate in alloxan diabetes has a neuroprotective effect, which is manifested in a decrease in toxic damage to neurocytes with an increase in the number of cells with reversible changes and intact neurons. Lithium carbonate at doses of 5 and 10 mg / kg was not effective.
