TRAIL and DcR1 Expressions Are Differentially Regulated in the Pancreatic Islets of STZ- versus CY-Applied NOD Mice

Figure 1

Mean blood glucose levels following STZ- or CY-inductions. NOD mice received single intraperitoneal injections of 150 mg/kg STZ or 200 mg/kg CY or vehicle (physiological saline or citrate buffer) at 10 weeks of age. Fifteen mice were used for initial inductions in both STZ and CY groups. Three mice were sacrificed at each point for immunohistochemical pancreas analysis starting from day 1 for the CY group and day 2 for the STZ group. The given values represent the mean blood glucose values for the live subjects, including those to be sacrificed, at each point.
