Taenia crassiceps Infection Attenuates Multiple Low-Dose Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes

Figure 1

Hyperglycemia and diabetes incidence is modified by T. crassiceps infection in BALB/c mice. (a) Blood glucose levels throughout the MLDS protocol for uninfected BALB/c mice and BALB/c mice infected with T. crassiceps for 6 weeks. (b) Percent incidence of diabetes between uninfected and T. crassiceps-infected BALB/c mice. (c) Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test for MLDS-treated uninfected and T. crassiceps-infected mice. Dotted line indicates normal glucose values.^∗𝑃<.05, 𝑛=12.
