Vanadium, which arouses interest of many research centers thisresearchfieldmayhelptoestimatethebalancebetween worldwide, is a biologically essential redox-active metal with adverse effects of vanadium (which has a relatively narrow an ability to evoke diametrically opposite effects. Due to margin of safety) and its potential therapeutic properties its dual character and multidirectional action, vanadium and to determine better its toxicity and therapeutic intervals receives a great deal of attention of pharmacologists and which, in turn, allows us to devise and develop possible researchers from different scientific disciplines. procedures of treatment of certain illnesses.
