AGT and diabetes mellitus: Similar to the findings previously discussed, lycopene treatment modulates the redox status in plasma and kidney homogenates of rats with oxidative stress caused by cadmium and streptozotocin-induced diabetes [32], furan-induced hepatotoxic and hematologic changes in diabetic rats [33], Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet [34], and liver homogenates of rats with hypertension induced by Angiotensin II [29].
