Vanadyl sulfate trihydrate was given by gavage to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats for 21 days at doses of 0, 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg/day. In marked contrast to the reduction in plasma glucose observed in diabetic animals given vanadyl sulfate via drinking water, diabetic rats given vanadyl by gavage were not characterized by normoglycemia. Similarly, in contrast to the normalizing effect of vanadyl in drinking water, vanadyl by gavage had only a minimal influence on diabetes associated hyperphagia and polydipsia. Despite the lack of marked effect of vanadyl by gavage on the above parameters, tissue vanadium accumulation in the gavaged rats was similar to that reported for rats given vanadium by drinking water. The present results (taken together with previous data) show that the administration of vanadium by gavage is not a viable alternative to the use of insulin in diabetes treatment.
