Used as an insulin-mimetic agent in research for diabetes management due to its ability to enhance glucose uptake and improve insulin sensitivity. Studied for potential therapeutic use in type 2 diabetes, particularly in modulating glucose metabolism and reducing hyperglycemia. Also investigated for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in metabolic disorders. Commonly used in preclinical studies to evaluate vanadium-based compounds for oral bioavailability and efficacy in animal models of diabetes.
