Abstract:
:We have determined Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) in normal, neonatal streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals (NSZ), a model of lean-type non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with hypoinsulinaemia, and KK-Ay mice, a model of obese-type NIDDM with hyperinsulinaemia. The HbA1C of NSZ mice was slightly increased from 5 to 20 weeks while the HbA1C of KK-Ay mice was markedly increased from 5 to 10 weeks. Our findings showed a difference between experimentally-induced (NSZ) and genetically (KK-Ay) diabetic animals.
