Variations in Rodent Models of Type 1 Diabetes: Islet Morphology

Figure 1

Blood glucose levels of BBDR rats. (a) Following induction of diabetes, average blood glucose levels gradually increased over the next 25 days but remained constant in controls (* = ). (b) In analyzing the progression of diabetes in the individual animals, the onset of hyperglycemia varied by 15 days. Each line follows the blood glucose level for an individual rat chosen to demonstrate the variation in diabetes induction.
