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.
Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice develop an autoimmune disease with a long prodromal period and constitute a model for investigating the prevention of human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Since insulin injected prophylactically has been shown to reduce incidence of diabetes in NOD mice, we tested
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
