Diabetes-Resistant NOR Mice Are More Severely Affected by Streptozotocin Compared to the Diabetes-Prone NOD Mice: Correlations with Liver and Kidney GLUT2 Expressions

Figure 2

Quantitative analysis of alpha and beta cell contents in pancreatic islets of NOD and NOR mice following STZ injection. Upper panel displays changes in beta (a) and alpha (b) cell percentages within the islets compared in NOD (lighter bars) and NOR mice (darker bars). In the lower panel, progressive alterations in comparative proportions of alpha and beta cell contents are shown in NOD (c) and in NOR mice (d). , NOD versus NOR (Student’s -test). Error bars represent ± SEM ( for each time point).
