Despite the availability of various anti-diabetic drugs, diabetes mellitus (DM) remains one of the world’s most prevalent chronic diseases leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggering oxidative stress as well as numerous cellular and molecular modifications such as mitochondrial dysfunction affecting normal physiological functions in the body. This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of modified diets on pancreatic oxidative markers in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats following the administration of Alpha lipoic acid, using standard appropriate techniques. Result established that High protein diet (HPD), and with combined administration with alpha lipoic acid in this research resulted in an increased pancreatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) levels respectively while decreasing pancreatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, hence is affirmed as a beneficial strategy in the management of oxidative stress in diabetes. The present study concludes that high protein diets alone and in combination with ALA decreases pancreatic oxidative stress damage caused by streptozotocin toxicity, hence, has the potential to manage diabetes by reducing Reactice oxygen species (ROS) mediated oxidative stress.
