title: Comparison of gentamicin toxicity in normal and diabetic rats.
abstract: Gentamicin treatment caused an elevation in serum urea and creatinine concentrations and ALT activity, associated with pathological changes in the liver and kidney. The pathological and blood chemistry changes were more severe in diabetic gentamicin-treated than in non-diabetic gentamicin-treated rats. Alloxan-diabetic rats had lowered blood glutathione concentrations which may have been responsible for the enhancement of gentamicin toxicity in these rats.
