Histological and biochemical investigation of the renoprotective effects of metformin in diabetic and prostate cancer model

Diabetes and cancer have common physiological and biochemical mechanisms. Metformin is the preferred drug of choice for the treatment of diabetes. Prostate cancer can be modeled in by injection of MAT-Lylu cells. A model of diabetes in rats is induced by streptozotocin injectıon.
