Role of zinc ion in diabetes. BPSAL along with ZnSO4 when enters into the cells converts into Zn +  + ions and extracts when enters into the cell disturb the cell potential and positive ions inside the cell capture the various ROS such as OH−, NO−, H2O2, etc., which causes the degradation of ribosomes, cell membrane disruption, DNA damage and protein denaturation etc.
