## Abstract The nonβobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a widely used animal model for the study of human diabetes. Before the start of lymphocytic insulitis, DC accumulation around islets of Langerhans is a hallmark for autoimmune diabetes development in this model. Previous experiments indicated that a
Troglitazone, an oral antidiabetic agent, is an equal mixture of four stereoisomers involving two asymmetric centres. In the present study, the stereoselectivity of in vitro epimerization in plasma and organ homogenate and in vivo plasma disposition in the KK mouse, an animal model of non-insulin-de
The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops an autoimmune diabetes that shares many immunogenetic features with human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), type 1 diabetes. The mononuclear cell infiltrates in the islet, which results in the development of insulitis (a prerequisite
Since the discovery of the recessive lethal mutation to as reported by Dobrovolskaia-Zawadskaia and Kobozieff ( '32) and Chesley and Dunn ('36) a considerable amount of research has been devoted to the remarkable series of recessive mutant alleles that have since been shown to occur at this locus (T
The NOD mouse, which shows many features of human IDDM, is extensively used to evaluate the role of T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. The development of diabetes in this model appears to be controlled by a finely tuned immunoregulatory balance between autoaggressive T cells a
