Diabetogenic agents can be conveniently classified into simple chemicals and complex hormones. Streptozotocin and alloxan are diabetogenic chemicals which cause a permanent diabetes by destruction of the B cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas and a resulting insulin deficiency. The diabetogenic chemicals, however, may also have sex hormone-like actions which could be contributory or even causative factors in diabetes mellitus.Circulating androgens have long been known to effect a sexual dimorphism of the submandibular gland,and spontaneous diabetes markedly affects the development of the submandibular glands of mice. The effects of alloxan on the submandibular gland of male mice has previously been reported.In the present study, the effects of streptozotocin, a diabetogenic agent widely employed in cancer chemotherapy, were investigated in heterozygous male mice of the C57BI, Ksj db strain whose homozygous littermates are afflicted with a syndrome resembling maturity-onset human diabetes mellitus.

Abstract The mating of 77 heterozygous pairs (Cav3.2[+|−] x Cav3.2[+|−]) revealed a significant deviation of genotype distribution from Mendelian inheritance in weaned pups. The mating of 14 pairs (Cav3.2[−|−] female x Cav3.2[+|−] male) and 8 pairs (Cav3.2[+|−] female x Cav3.2[−|−] male) confirmed the significant reduction of deficient homozygous Cav3.2[−|−] pups, leading to the conclusion that prenatal lethality may occur, when one or both alleles, encoding the Cav3.2T-type Ca2+ channel, are missing. Also, the mating of 63 heterozygous pairs (Cav2.3[+|−] x Cav2.3[+|−]) revealed a significant deviation of genotype distribution from Mendelian inheritance in weaned pups, but only for heterozygous male mice, leading to the conclusion that compensation may only occur for Cav2.3[−|−] male mice lacking both alleles of the R-type Ca2+ channel. During the mating of heterozygous parents, the number of female mice within the weaned population does not deviate from the expected Mendelian inheritance. During prenatal development, both, T- and R-type Ca2+ currents are higher expressed in some tissues than postnatally. It will be discussed that the function of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels during prenatal development must be investigated in more detail, not least to understand devastative diseases like developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEE).

C57BL male mice (Jackson Lab., Bar Harbor, Maine) weighing about 18 gms were randomly divided into three groups: group I was fed sweetened liquid alcohol diet (modified Schenkl) in which 36% of the calories were derived from alcohol; group II was maintained on a similar diet but alcohol was isocalorically substituted by sucrose; group III was fed regular mouse chow ad lib for five months. Liver and heart tissues were fixed in 2.5% cacodylate buffered glutaraldehyde, post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide and embedded in Epon-araldite.
