Diabetic Rodent Models for Chronic Stroke Studies

Lea Julie Dalco et al. Methods Mol Biol. 2023.

Abstract

Chronic diabetes may cause secondary complications like stroke and also increase post-stroke brain damage. In stroke research, the Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable (STAIR) identified criteria to increase translational value of preclinical studies, which highlighted the importance of using animal models of comorbidities. Numerous animal models have been used to study the aggravation of ischemic brain damage in diabetics. In this chapter, we discuss rat and mouse models of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes, with an efficient method provided. We also provide an overview of spontaneously diabetic rodent models. We present different pathophysiological features of diabetes in each rodent model along with the advantages and disadvantages of each model. Utilizing these models may aid the advancement of novel treatments and therapies to lower ischemic brain damage in patients of diabetes.

Keywords: Diabetes; Protocol; Streptozotocin; Type 1 diabetes.
