STZ-induced Diabetic Model for General Diabetic Studies
STZ-induced Diabetic Model for General Diabetic Studies
Diabetes in humans induces chronic complications such as cardiovascular damage, cataracts and retinopathy, nephropathy and polyneuropathy. The most common animal model of human diabetes is streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in the rat.
Objective:
Assesses the anti-diabetic efficacy of Test Product over a period of 4 weeks post STZ administration in rats by terminal blood glucose measurement and oral glucose tolerance test.
