Diabetic mice were established by intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) dissolved in 5 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 4.5) after one night starvation. After 14 days, the blood glucose levels were higher than 250 mg/dL, and the mice were considered to have diabetes.

Streptozotocin and Melatonin in Neuroprotection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

streptozotocin (STZ; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc,. Califórnia, EUA).

Melatonin (MEL; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

The streptozotocin was infused in the lateral ventricles of the animals at a dose of 3 mg/kg or sterile saline in the vehicle group. The STZ dose (3 mg/kg) was chosen according to previous studies from our group (Bassani et al., 2017 (link), Bassani et al., 2018 (link), Ghosh et al. 2020 (link); Souza et al., 2002 (link)) and it was the dose more effective to mimic the phenomenological similarities between the model and the clinical condition (face validity).
The dose and hour of administration of melatonin (dose of 10 mg/kg) were based on previous studies that described its neuroprotective effects (Luengo et al., 2019 ; Rong et al., 2020 ; Omeiza et al., 2021 ). It was dissolved in propylene glycol and diluted in saline, resulting in a final ratio of 5:95 propylene glycol/saline. The final concentration of suspended melatonin was 10 mg/ml, which was infused intraperitoneally (i.p). The control groups received 1 ml/kg of a 5% propylene glycol saline solution.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Streptozotocin (STZ) (Cat no: SC-200719) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Aspire Biosains PLT, Malaysia). In the fasting condition, the animals were injected with STZ at 45 mg/kg/day (i.p) in 0.5 mL of 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 5.5) for three days continuously. The blood glucose was measured using a blood glucometer (Gluco Dr, South Korea) from the withdrawn tail blood vein. Animals were considered as hyperglycaemia or diabetic state if the blood glucose level at or more than 250 mg/dL (Gholamhosseinian et al. 2020 (link)).

After acclimatization of rats with regular chow diet for one week and, streptozotocin (STZ) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg-Germany) was dissolved in sodium citrate buffer (0.1 M, pH: 4.5) and a dose of 55 mg per kg of body weight was intraperitoneally injected to the rats to induce type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in diabetic groups (D, D + Cur50, D + Cur150, D + Met300, and D + Met500). Seventy-two hours later, the level of fasting blood sugar (FBS) was measured using a glucometer to confirm induction of diabetes. FBS level higher than 250 mg/dl was considered as diagnostic off point of diabetes.16 (link) After induction of diabetes (day zero; D0) treatment of the rats with curcumin or metformin was started and continued for 42 days.14 (link) Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, the rats were anesthetized with ketamine–xylazine (50mg/kg ketamine and 12mg/kg xylazine) and sacrificed. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein and sera were separated and stored at -20°C until analysis of biochemical parameters. Heart tissue samples were dissected and used to determine oxide-redox status and to evaluate gene expression levels. Portions of tissue samples were also fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for histopathological evaluation.

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.
