Early intensive insulin treatment is thought to improve subsequent Beta-cell function in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. Prophylactic insulin administration also reduced diabetes incidence in diabetes-prone animals. To study the mechanisms by which these effects occur, we tested the ab

β¦ Synopsis
Diabetes prone NOD female mice were fed diets containing different proteins from just before weaning. Only mice receiving meat meal or casein as the protein source developed diabetes at the rate expected from this colony. Lactalbumin and gluten did not precipitate diabetes except in a small number. Casein hydrolysate in lieu of protein protects against overt diabetes, but only if introduced early. The animals which did not show overt diabetes nevertheless had intermittent trace glycosuria and the majority showed mild degrees of periinsular lymphocytic infiltration.

Background The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a widely used model of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Type 1 DM), which displays many of the characteristics of the disease found in humans. Nicotinamide (NA) is currently being tested in large-scale, multi-centre human trials for the prevention of Type 1
## Abstract ## Background A glutenβfree diet reduces the incidence of diabetes mellitus in nonβobese diabetic (NOD) mice, but the mechanism is not known. The aim of this study was to examine the possible influence of the diet on the caecal bacterial flora, which may affect the intestinal physiolog
Oral administration of the synthetic immunomodulating drug quinoline-3-carboxamide (Linomide) in the drinking water to 5-week-old female non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice resulted in complete protection from insulitis and maintenance of normal glucose tolerance for over 40 weeks (impaired glucose tolera
