N. Kitazawa et al., DETERMINATION OF HEMOGLOBIN A(1C) IN NORMAL AND DIABETIC MICE - NEONATAL STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC MICE AND KK-AY MICE, Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin, 19(8), 1996, pp. 1078-1079
We have determined Hemoglobin A(1C) (HbA(1C)) in normal, neonatal stre
ptozotocin-induced diabetic animals (NSZ), a model of lean-type non-in
sulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with hypoinsulinaemia, and K
K-AV mice, a model of obese-type NIDDM with hyperinsulinaemia. The HbA
(1C) of NSZ mice was slight Ig increased from 5 to 20 weeks while the
HbA(1C) of KK-Ay mice was markedly increased from 5 to 10 weeks, Our f
indings showed a difference between experiment ally-induced (NSZ) and
genetically (KK-Ay) diabetic animals.
