BACKGROUND: The role of reactive oxygen species in the etiology of diabetes-induced anomalies was studied in a genetic model of nutritionally induced Type 2 diabetes mellitus: the Cohen diabetic sensitive (CDs) and resistant (CDr) rats. We have previously shown in this model that embryopathy may be induced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In our study we investigated the role of the...
