Virus and Experimental Diabetes
1984
Special subtypes of viruses belonging to different virus families are known to be able to induce insulin-deficient diabetes or pathological glucose tolerance in experimental animals (Table 1). The development of the diabetogenic effect of viruses is dependent on the species (Table 1) and, within one species, dependent on age and sex (Friedman et al., 1972), particularly on the genetic factors of the animals determining susceptibility or resistance to diabetes (Craighead and Higgins, 1974; Yoon and Notkins, 1976).
A systematic review of urinary bladder hypertrophy in experimental diabetes: Part 2. Comparison of animal models and functional consequences.
2018
Aims To explore whether the bladder hypertrophy consistently seen in rats upon streptozotocin injection also occurs in other animal models of type 1 or 2 diabetes and how hypertrophy is linked to functional alterations of the urinary bladder. Methods A systematic search for the key word combination "diabetes," "bladder," and "hypertrophy" was performed in PubMed; additional references were identified from reference lists of those publications. All papers were systematically extracted for relevant information. Results Models other than streptozotocin-injected rats and female animals have been poorly studied. Most animal models of diabetes exhibit less bladder hypertrophy as compared to strep…
