Renal function, insulin secretion, and glucose tolerance in mild streptozotocin diabetes in the dog.
A mild, stable diabetes mellitus was induced in dogs, using a small (20 mg/kg of body weight) dose of streptozotocin in a standard volume of 200 ml infused in 15 minutes. The stability of the diabetes was evidenced by the results of a standard intravenous glucose-tolerance test, insulin response to the glucose load, and urinary glucose excretion. The results of the urinary clearances for urea, creatinine, and phosphate indicated minimal renal toxicosis and that the toxicosis was localized to the tubules.
