Diabetic mice were generated by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (150 mg/kg body weight; Sigma). streptozotocin was freshly prepared in 100 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.5). After injection, mice were supplied with 10% sucrose overnight to prevent sudden hypoglycaemic shock. Sufficient hyperglycaemia was observed 2 days after injection, as determined by measuring blood glucose using the Accu-Check Active blood glucose monitor (Roche Diagnostics, Germany). After 1 week, mice with non-fasting blood glucose levels >16 mM, polyuria, and glucosuria were defined as diabetic and used for the experiments.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
