Streptozotocin Induced Diabetes

AbstractBackgroundIn two previous studies we have demonstrated prevention of electrophysiological abnormalities of nerve in experimental STZ (streptozotocin)-induced diabetes (ED) of rats using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents: indomethacin and sulindac. Sulindac might benefit ED because it inhibits both cyclo-oxygenase and aldose reductase.MethodsIn this work, we examined whether 1 month of sulindac treatment reversed or improved established biochemical and electrophysiological abnormalities in experimental diabetes of 3 months duration. Sulindac-treated diabetic rats (6.0 mg/kg 5/7 days weekly by gavage) were compared to untreated diabetics, nondiabetic controls and sulindac treated control rats.ResultsDiabetic rats developed slowing of conduction velocity in caudal sensory, sural sensory, caudal motor and sciatic tibial motor fibers. Sulindac improved caudal motor and, to a lesser extent sural sensory conduction but not caudal sensory or sciatic tibial motor conduction. Sulindac did not alter sciatic sugars or polyols.ConclusionsSulindac provided modest improvement in some indices of experimental neuropathy in this reversal study, but there was less efficacy than in the preventative study. Reversal paradigms should be examined in all experimental therapies for diabetic neuropathy.

Main Components

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
