[Diabetic complications in rats in long-term modeling of type I diabetes mellitus].
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM-1) was modeled by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocine (STZ) in a dose 65 mg/kg in two groups of Wistar rats: control (n=6) and test (n=14). Clinical and pathomorphological examinations of different organs were conducted for 4.5 months. It was found that the above model represents clinical picture and vascular diabetic complications (microangiopathy with parenchymal lesions) accompanied with destruction and depression of spleen activity. It is shown that rats, more resistant to the toxic action of STZ restore the ability for regeneration of the pancreatic islets and regress of glycemia and angiopathy, for positive changes in splenic structure and function.
