TRAIL and DcR1 Expressions Are Differentially Regulated in the Pancreatic Islets of STZ- versus CY-Applied NOD Mice
Figure 7
Survival patterns and mean blood glucose level profiles for NOR mice. (a) Mortality rates for NOR mice. Female NOR mice received the same agent doses as the NOD mice, that is, 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. Eighty percent of the STZ-injected mice died at day 7. (b) Changes in blood glucose levels in NOR mice. Nonfasting blood sugar levels of the STZ-, CY-, or vehicle-injected NOR mice groups were measured by a portable glucose meter. Data are given as mean ± SEM.
