Inadequate utilization of glucose in diabetes mellitus favors diverse metabolic alterations that play a relevant role in the physio-pathology of chronic complications of this disease. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated daily with glycine (130 mM as optimal concentration) or taurine (40 mM) for six months. Groups of diabetic rats without treatment were used as controls. Glucose, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and glycated hemoglobin were determined periodically after inducing diabetes. Rats were killed after 6 months of treatment and histological analyses were performed. Diabetic groups that received glycine or taurine showed significant lower concentrations of glucose, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and glycated hemoglobin than diabetic control rats (P
