The rational of this study to find out the impact of auxins in prevention of diabetic complications in rats. Seventy-five rats were randomly grouped into five groups: Group I; control (n = 15). (Groups 2-5, 60 rats) were received a single dose of STZ i.p, at dose of 65 mg/kg for induction diabetes. Group II; diabetic untreated. Group III; Rats were given auxin subcutaneous (2.5 µg/kg b.w). Group IV; rats were given auxin (5 µg/kg b.w). Group V; rats were injected insulin (5 units/kg b.w/day) as positive control. Treatment of diabetic rats with auxin (2.5 or 5 ug/kg b.w) for 8 weeks reversed the oxidant/antioxidant imbalance. The protective effect of auxin due to defence against oxygen free radicals production in retinal tissue. Also, auxin inhibit formation of AGEs and inhibit release of inflammatory mediators. It was concluded that, auxin may be used as promising therapeutic agents against diabetic complications.
