Characterization of T1D. (a) T1D induction protocol: 5LO-/- and WT mice were fasted for 5 hours before daily injections (i.p.) of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) for 5 days. Ten days after the last STZ injection, mouse blood glucose levels were measured, and mice with levels higher than 300 mg/dL were considered diabetic. The nondiabetic (healthy) group received the drug diluent, citrate buffer. (b) Blood glucose levels in T1D and healthy groups at day 15. (c) Mice were weighed before streptozotocin administration and 14 days after the last dose. -7 animals in each group and values are the . .
