title: [Vanadium derivatives--a new source of antidiabetic drugs].
abstract: Vanadium, a transitional element belonging to Vb group is wide-spread both in vegetal and animal world. Although known by more a hundred years ago only in 1985 its hypoglycaemic properties were established. Recent research shown that the hypoglycaemic properties and the toxicity are influenced both by vanadium valence state and organic moiety that is binding it.
