Allantoin ameliorates chemically-induced pancreatic β-cell damage through activation of the imidazoline I3 receptors
Objective. Allantoin is the primary active compound in yams (Dioscorea spp.). Recently, allantoin has been demonstrated to activate imidazoline 3 (I3) receptors located in pancreatic tissues. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of allantoin in the effect to improve damage induced i...
