title: The effect of diabetes on the in vivo acetylation capacity of the spontaneously diabetic, insulin-dependent BB/Edinburgh Wistar rat.
abstract: In contrast to previous studies using chemically-induced diabetic rats, the in vivo acetylation of sulphamethazine is increased in spontaneously diabetic, insulin-dependent BB/Edinburgh (BB/E) Wistar rats compared to non-diabetic control animals from the same colony. In both diabetic and non-diabetic rats, male animals had a significantly higher acetylation capacity than female animals. The percentage recovery of the administered dose was significantly higher in urine samples from female rats.
