Grain Amaranth Is Associated with Improved Hepatic and Renal Calcium Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus of Male Wistar Rats

S100a1 protein levels in blood, kidney, and liver following grain amaranth feed supplementation in T2DM male Wistar rats. Image (a) blood, (b) kidney, and (c) liver. In blood, grain amaranth at 25% and 50% led to an increase of s100a1 protein levels during T2DM. In the kidney there were no dose related changes following AG supplementation in the s100a1 protein levels. In the liver, there were dose related changes in s100a1 protein levels following AG supplementation to T2DM male Wistar rats. Observations in the study show that AG supplementation has strong effects in the order of blood > liver > kidney.
