Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the enzymatic activity of the purinergic system in sera samples from alloxan-induced diabetic mice treated with tucuma oil (Astrocaryum vulgare). For this, the mice were divided into four groups (n = 6): control/water (the group CW); control/tucuma oil (the group CT); diabetic/water (the group DW), and diabetic/tucuma oil (the group DT) treated for 14 days with 5.0 mL kg−1 via oral gavage. On day 14 post-treatment, mice were submitted to euthanasia and blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture. Tucuma oil treatment significantly decreased (p
