Effects
When administered to mice, in some laboratory experiments Freund's complete adjuvant was said to have prevented juvenile-onset diabetes and combined with prepared spleen cells was said to have reversed it. In 2006 these claims were challenged by the findings of several other researchers. Although newspapers have described the 2006 findings as confirming the earlier experiments, in substantial ways they conflict with them. A report from NIH was released on November 23, 2006 in Science confirming the participation of spleen cells in reversing end-stage diabetes.
It has also been investigated in an animal model of Parkinson's disease.
