The researchers studied how vanadium citrate affects enzymes and hormone levels in pregnant rats. They divided the rats into groups, with some receiving vanadium citrate. They found that pregnant rats had higher enzyme activity and hormone levels compared to non-pregnant rats. However, vanadium citrate caused a decrease in enzyme activity and hormone levels in pregnant rats that received it. At a specific concentration, vanadium citrate normalized enzyme activity. This suggests that vanadium citrate can affect enzyme activity and hormone levels in pregnant rats.
