beta-cell function and viability in the spontaneously diabetic GK rat: information from the GK/Par colony.
The GK rat model of type 2 diabetes is especially convenient to dissect the pathogenic mechanism necessary for the emergence of overt diabetes because all adult rats obtained in our department (GK/Par colony) to date have stable basal mild hyperglycemia and because overt diabetes is preceded by a period of normoglycemia, ranging from birth to weaning. The purpose of this article is to sum up th...
متن کاملDiabetes-associated complications in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii fatty rats.
The Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat, established by introducing the fa allele of the Zucker fatty rat into the SDT rat genome, is a new model of obese type 2 diabetes. The SDT-fa/fa (SDT fatty) rat shows overt obesity, and hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are observed at a young age as compared with the SDT-+/+ (SDT normal) rat. However, the features of the diabetic complications i...
متن کاملMetabolic Disorders and Diabetic Complications in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Leprfa Rat: A New Obese Type 2 Diabetic Model
Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Lepr (fa) (SDT fatty) rat, established by introducing the fa allele of the Zucker fatty rat into SDT rat genome, is a new model of obese type 2 diabetes. Both male and female SDT fatty rats show overt obesity, and hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are observed at a young age as compared with SDT rats. With early incidence of diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications,...
متن کاملDiabetic Neuropathy in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Rat
To aid in the study of diabetes and its complications, many diabetic animal models have been reported. Although most diabetic patients suffer type 2 diabetes, studies using type 2 diabetic animal models have been carried out less frequently. Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) rat, a non-obese type 2 diabetes model, shows neuropathies and severe ocular complications. Decreased nerve conduction v...
متن کاملPathophysiological Characteristics of Diabetic Ocular Complications in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Rat
The Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) rat, a nonobese type 2 diabetes model, develops severe diabetic retinopathy as result of chronic severe hyperglycemia. Although existing diabetes animal models also develop ocular complications, severe retinal lesions frequently observed in human diabetes patients such as preretinal neovascularization or retinal detachment are not found. Distinctive featur...
