β¦ Synopsis
Animals from a colony of spontaneously diabetic insulin-dependent BB rats were fed from weaning with semi-synthetic diets in which natural proteins were replaced by l-amino acids with or without the addition of either milk or wheat proteins. The normal 50% incidence of diabetes in the colony was reduced to 15% in rats fed the basic semi-synthetic diet, while it was 35% and 52% when supplemented with gluten or milk, respectively. Thus, dietary factors might precipitate the expression of the disease.

The effects of the alpha and beta anomers of D-glucose on insulin release were studied in a rat model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, which was induced by streptozotocin injection at 2 days of age. Glucose tolerance of the streptozotocin-treated rats at 8-10 weeks of age was mildly diabetic. Insu
To determine if the inhibiting effect of glucopenia on arginine-stimulated insulin secretion is impaired at the onset of autoimmune diabetes, the insulin response to arginine was studied at 5.6 and 2.8 mmol/l glucose in perfused pancreata isolated from BB/W rats on the first day of diabetes and from
A B-cell-deficient model for Type 2 (non-insulindependent) diabetes mellitus has been investigated with regard to insulin action at the cellular level. Two-day-old male Sprague Dawley rats were injected with streptozotocin (90 mg/kg) or citrate buffer. At 6 weeks streptozotocin-treated animals were
