ScienceDaily (Nov. 19, 2008) — A drug based on a chemical found in garlic can treat diabetes types I and II when taken as a tablet, a study in the new Royal Society of Chemistry journal Metallomics says.
ScienceDaily (2008年11月19日)：皇家化学学会的一项研究表明。一种大蒜化学物片剂能治疗Ⅰ、Ⅱ型糖尿病。
When Hiromu Sakurai and colleagues from the Suzuka University of Medical Science, Japan, gave the drug orally to type I diabetic mice, they found it reduced blood glucose levels.
日本Suzuka医学院的Hiromu Sakurai和其同事将该药物喂食给患有Ⅰ型糖尿病的小鼠，结果发现小鼠的血糖水平下降。
The drug is based on vanadium钒 and allixin, a compound found in garlic, and its action described in an Advance Article from Metallomics available free online from today. The first issue of the new journal will be published in 2009.
该药物是基于大蒜内的一种钒和allixin的化合物研究成的，此化合物在今天Metallomic免费在线文章被报道。该杂志首期将在2009年被发表。
In previous work they had discovered the vanadium-allixin compound treated both diabetes types when injected, but this new study shows the drug has promise as an oral treatment for the disease.
在先前研究中，他们曾将该化合物注射用于治疗糖尿病，但是现在最新研究表明口服治疗更有前景。
Type I diabetes (insulin dependent) is currently treated with daily injections of insulin, while type II (non-insulin dependent) is treated with drugs bearing undesirable side-effects – the authors note neither treatment is ideal.
目前Ⅰ型糖尿病（胰岛素依赖型）经每日注射胰岛素治疗，Ⅱ型糖尿病（非胰岛素依赖型）患者则需要接受具有副作用药物治疗，这两种治疗方法显然都不理想。
The researchers aim to test the drug in humans in future work.
研究者下一步将该药物进行人类测试。
