From: Whey protein enhances normal inflammatory responses during cutaneous wound healing in diabetic rats
Oxidative stress in non-diabetic normal rats (WN), diabetic rats (WD) and diabetic rats supplemented whey protein (WDWP). MDA, NO and total glutathione were measured in liver tissues, while ROS was estimated in skin tissue. All oxidative markers were significantly elevated in the diabetic rats. Whey protein restored the levels of these markers in WDWP rats to levels close to those of the control rats and significantly increased glutathione levels.
