Urinary bladder enlargement across nine rodent models of diabetes: correlations with glucose and insulin levels
AbstractThe urinary bladder is markedly enlarged in the type 1 diabetes mellitus model of streptozotocin (STZ)-injected rats, but much less data exist for models of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Diabetic polyuria has been proposed to explain bladder enlargement. We have collected data on bladder weight and blood glucose from 16 studies representing 9 distinct rodent diabetes (7 T2DM) and obesity models; some included arms with diets and/or pharmacological treatments. Data were analyzed for bladder enlargement and for correlations between bladder weight on the one and glucose levels on the other hand. Our data confirm major bladder enlargements in STZ rats, minor if any enlargement in fructose-fed…
