DM: Diabetes mellitus; GK: Goto-kakizaki; SD: Sprague Dawley; STZ: Streptozotocin; HFD: High fat diet; Glc: glucose; SGLT2i: sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors; GLP-1RA: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. Note: Only SGLT2i or GLP-1RA are detailed, although many of the referenced studies look at more drugs (monotherapy or multitherapy).
Most of the studies included in Table 4 concentrated on the general beneficial effects of the drugs used secondary to the damage associated with short-term hyperglycaemia. It is necessary to design long-term hyperglycaemia experimental models, closer to human DM, to further study their impact in the complications of DM.
The histologic findings of the human DKD include glomerular hypertrophy, glomerular basement membrane thickening with absence of immune deposits, mesangial matrix expansion, loss of podocytes, glomerular capillary walls thickening, nodular sclerosis (±Kimmelstiel Wilson nodules), arteriolar hyalinosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis [ 77 ].
The absence of a uniform classification has led the Renal Pathology Society to develop a consensus classification of the glomerular histological lesions present in the DKD, listed in Table 5 [ 58 ].

The non-uniformity in terms of the time of onset and severity of glomerular histological lesions found in the different studies in rats may be explained by the differences in the animal models/species of DM used and time of evolution of the DM, among others. Furthermore, compared to what happens in the DM in humans, the histological abnormalities are less than those observed in humans [ 59 , 82 ].
The DM model induced by STZ injection has been widely used to study the development and evolution of DKD. However, there is still no consensus regarding the age, dose of STZ used, the time to develop DKD, the parameters to consider a success the establishment of DKD and the end points of the experiments. Table 7 lists the details of the protocols used in studies with male Wistar rats and STZ.

The human DKD is a long-term complication of DM-1 and DM-2 that occurs in patients receiving insulin. However, none of the models previously described includes the use of insulin to correct or minimize the negative effects of hyperglycaemia. This circumstance has been acknowledged as a limitation to the study by several authors, in which potential biomarkers of platelet activation were analysed as instruments for the evaluation of thromboembolic risk in a model of long-term DM (28 weeks) induced by STZ (single dose of 60 mg/dL) [ 85 ].
To shed some light in this area, we recently developed a long-term rat model of DM in which we used long-term insulin administration in order to improve the control of the hyperglycaemia [ 86 ].
The model attempted to assess the effects of long-term hyperglycaemia in a chemically induced DM-1 model in which the blood glucose level was partially corrected during 24 weeks by the administration of exogenous insulin. Briefly, the experimental model of DM consisted in two groups of 4-month-old male Wistar rats (425 ± 43 g) and controls in which DM was obtained using STZ (55 mg/Kg). Rats were considered diabetics when weight loss, polyuria, hyperglycaemia, hyperglycosuria and elevated HbA1c levels were achieved. After the 24 weeks, the rats showed microalbuminuria (UACR > 30 mg/g) and hyperfiltration. Histologically, the kidneys showed structural changes, such as increased diameter of the proximal tubules, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and denuded foot processes of the podocytes, with no changes in kidney fibrosis. The changes observed in this model allowed us to classify them as class I diabetic nephropathy, according to the classification of the Society of Renal Pathology [ 58 ]. In addition, the diabetic rats showed higher serum and urinary levels of advance glycation end-products (AGEs) and of their soluble receptors in urine (sRAGE) but lower soluble serum Klotho. A higher degree of fibrosis was observed in the heart. The control rats did not show any kind of changes in the kidney nor in the heart. In summary, despite a partial control of the hyperglycaemia using long-term administration of insulin, the diabetic rats showed kidney and heart important alterations.
Experimental models of DM are an essential biomedical research tool to better understand and improve the pathogenesis and management of the DM. However, unfortunately, so far there are no animal models that clearly resemble the disorders observed in the human DM. Furthermore, most investigations are centred in the early phase of DM. More studies are needed to mimic the long-term complications associated with the disease and the long-term effects of the treatment in the different organs damaged by DM. As a stimulus for hope, this review includes a summary of a recent long-term model of DM (24 weeks) induced by streptozotocin in which exogenous insulin was administered that can help to better understand some aspects of the pathogenesis and management of DM.

Objective: To explore whether tea polyphenols(TP) improve sarcopenia in the aged type 2 diabetes(T2DM)model rats via mitochondrial quality control(MQC).
Methods: A total of 55 2-month-old male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group(n=10), the aged model group(aged, n=10) and the aging T2DM model group(n=35). The aging T2DM model group rats were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet and intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg D-galactose daily. After 4 weeks, the aging T2DM model group rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin(STZ). After STZ injection for 2 weeks, fasting blood glucose(FBG) ≥ 16.7 mmol/L was defined as successful T2DM model. When the model was successfully induced, the 30 model rats were randomly divided into aged T2DM group(Mod), 300 mg/kg TP teatment group(TP) and 3 mg/kg rosiglitazone treatment group(RSG) according to FBG, with 10 rats in each group. Each group was treated with 50 mg/kg D-galactose to induce senescence and fed with high glucose and fat for 8 weeks. Western blot was used to detect the expression of P53 protein in gastnemius muscle tissue of the model group at the end of the experiment, which was higher than that of the control group, indicating that the aging T2DM model was successfully established. FBG was detected by the blood glucose meter, gastnemius muscle relative weights was calculated, the microstructure of mitochondria of gastnemius muscle was observed by transmission electron microscope(TEM), the expression of mitochondrial biosynthesis-related proteins PGC-1α, mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins(OPA1, DRP1) and mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins(P62, LC3) in gastnemius muscle were detected by western blot.
Results: Compared with the control group, the level of FBG and the expression of P53 in the Mod group were increased(P<0.01). The gastnemius muscle relative weights, the expression level of PGC-1α, OPA1 and the ratio of LC3II/LC3I were decreased(P<0.01). The expression level of P62 and DRP1 were significantly increased(P<0.01). The number of mitochondria decreased, the volume decreased and a large number of vacuolization, and there were no obvious autophagolysosomes and fission and fusion. After 8 weeks, compared with the Mod group, the number of mitochondria in the gastrocnemius of TP and RSG groups, vacuolization, fission and fusion were improved, and the autophagolysosomes was significantly increased. The expression levels of P53, DRP1 and P62, the level of FBG in the TP group were significantly decreased(P<0.01, P<0.05). The expression levels of OPA1 and PGC-1α, the ratios of LC3II/LC3I and gastnemius muscle relative weights were significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01).
Conclusion: TP can improve the sarcopenia in the aged T2DM model rats, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of mitochondrial quality control.
Keywords: aged type 2 diabetes; mitochondrial quality control; sarcopenia; tea polyphenols.

Type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with numerous health problems, including peripheral neuropathy, osteoporosis, and bone denervation, all of which diminish quality of life. However, there are relatively few therapies to treat these T1DM-related complications. Recent studies have shown that Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors reverse aging- and rheumatoid arthritis-induced bone loss and reduce pain associated with peripheral nerve injuries, and rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, we assessed whether a JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, baricitinib, ameliorates mechanical pain sensitivity (a measure of peripheral neuropathy), osteoporosis, and bone denervation in the femur of mice with T1DM.
Female ICR mice (13 weeks old) received five daily administrations of streptozotocin ( ip , 50 mg/kg) to induce T1DM. At thirty-one weeks of age, mice were treated with baricitinib ( po ; 40 mg/kg/ bid ; for 28 days) or vehicle. Mechanical sensitivity was evaluated at 30, 33, and 35 weeks of age on the plantar surface of the right hind paw. At the end of the treatment, mice were sacrificed, and lower extremities were harvested for microcomputed tomography and immunohistochemistry analyses.
Mice with T1DM exhibited greater blood glucose levels, hind paw mechanical hypersensitivity, trabecular bone loss, and decreased density of calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive axons within the marrow of the femoral neck compared to control mice. Baricitinib treatment significantly reduced mechanical hypersensitivity and ameliorated sensory and sympathetic denervation at the femoral neck, but it did not reverse trabecular bone loss.
Our findings suggest that baricitinib may represent a new therapeutic alternative to treat T1DM-induced peripheral neuropathy and bone denervation.

Animal models. In general, experimental diabetes mellitus is instigated in animals [], because animal models plays an effective role in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease [].Even though a number of in vitro and in silico studies are available and are improved in the last decades, animal models still remains the effective one in understanding the complex etiology and multi-systemic ...
3. BB Rats. This type of rat was derived from outbred Wistar rats.Firstly, spontaneous autoimmune diabetes was identified in 1974 in a Canadian colony and then led to the creation of two founder colonies from which all substrains have been derived including one of inbred Biobreeding Diabetes-Prone/Worcester (BBDP/Wor) and one of outbred Biobreeding Diabetes-Prone (BBDP) rats [].
In animals, experimental diabetes mellitus is instigated, mainly due to its effectiveness in illuminating disease etiology and pathology. Diabetes related experiments are conducted on rodents as well as on larger animals. ... In male rats, diabetes often appears at 8 to 10 weeks; in contrast, females do not develop overt diabetes [53,55,56].
Usually >80% of STZ-injected rats develop diabetes under this protocol. 2. Weigh all rats accurately to 1 g, and randomly divide them into control and experimental groups. The number of rats should be the same in each group. 3. On experimental day 1, fast all rats for 6 to 8 hr (from 7:00 to 13:00-15:00) prior to STZ treatment. Provide water as ...
The use of these models, however, is not without limitations. A T2D model should ideally portray an identical biochemical blood profile and pathogenesis to T2D in humans. Hence, this review will comparatively evaluate experimentally induced rodent T2D models considering the above-mentioned criteria, in order to guide diabetes research groups to ...
Streptozotocin (STZ) is an antibiotic that causes pancreatic islet β-cell destruction and is widely used experimentally to produce a model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Detailed in this article are protocols for producing STZ-induced insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia in mice and rats. Also described are protocols for creating animal ...
In Outbred Wistar rats that have given rise to type 1 Bio Breeding rats (BB), diabetes has been observed to manifest in these animals as a result of a cell-mediated auto immunological process . It consists of the Bio Breeding Diabetic Prone ... et al. Animal models in experimental diabetes mellitus. Indian J Exp Biol. 1997;35(11):1141-5.
Abstract. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that is becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The prolonged time-course of human type 2 diabetes makes modelling of the ...

Abstract. Animal models have historically played a critical role in the exploration and characterization of disease pathophysiology and target identification and in the evaluation of novel therapeutic agents and treatments in vivo. Diabetes mellitus disease, commonly known as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high ...
Some studies also reported that STZ-induced diabetes mellitus even increased the infarct size compared to normal rats [84 - 86]. 7. Diabetes and Cardioprotective Strategies. It is still not clear whether or not preconditioning can exert a cardioprotective effect in subjects with diabetes mellitus, and further studies are needed in this regard.
Animal Models of Diabetes. Models are needed when we can not put our hands on the object of the study (Wall and Shani, 2008[]).An animal model is a living organism in which a phenomenon of interest, similar in some aspects to humans, is studied in a way that can not be studied in humans (Wall and Shani, 2008[]).Using animal models in biomedical research has a long history (Wall and Shani, 2008 ...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced in the experimental rats as described by and Islam and Wilson . To induce insulin resistance, rats in the T2DM group were given 10% fructose solution orally ad libitum for 14 days, and those in the control group received normal water.
The objective of this study is to induce experimental diabetes mellitus by Streptozotocin in normal adult Wistar rats via comparison of changes in body weight, consumption of food and water, volume of urine and levels of glucose, insulin and C-peptide in serum, between normal and diabetic rats. Intra-venous injection of 60mg/kg dose of Streptozotocin in adult wistar rats, makes pancreas swell ...

The structural counter- part of the increased glomerular function has been as- cribed to the increased glomerular filtration surface area as found both in human subjects with recent onset diabetes [3] as well as in rats with 4 days of streptozotocin ...
We report that 9 d of uncontrolled experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in rats is an endogenous chronic stressor that produces retraction and simplification of apical dendrites of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons, an effect also observed in nondiabetic rats after 21 d of repeated restraint stress or chronic corticosterone (Cort) treatment.

The structural counterpart of the increased glomerular filtration found in acute diabetes mellitus and experimental diabetes has been ascribed to the increased glomerular filtration surface. Using modern design-based stereological methods and light microscopy on perfusionfixed rat kidneys the average total surface area of capillaries per glomerulus in control rats was 291±42 10−3 mm2 (±SD ...

As recently reviewed, in humans with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the EPR is detrimentally augmented, or exaggerated, in adolescents, middle-aged adults and older adults (Grotle & Stone, 2019). However, our current understanding of the pathophysiology in T2DM with respect to the EPR in humans remains limited.
One example of a type 2 diabetes animal model is the high‐fat diet‐fed, streptozotocin ( HFD / STZ )‐treated rat model. The present review first summarizes the current understanding of the metabolic profile and pathology involved in the different stages of the type 2 diabetes disease progression in humans. Second, the known ...
