Diabetes reduces growth and body composition more in male than in female rats.

Food restriction and/or starvation has a consistently greater and more permanent effect on physical growth in males than in females. Because diabetes may be viewed as being analogous to starvation, we tested the hypothesis that diabetes would reduce…

Selected principles of perinatal-neonatal glucose metabolism.

While the fetus is completely dependent on his/her mother for glucose and other nutrient transfer across the placenta, the adult is completely independent, especially one who is neither pregnant nor diabetic. The neonate is considered to be in a…

The JCR:LA-cp rat: a novel rodent model of cystic medial necrosis.

Although there are multiple rodent models of the metabolic syndrome, very few develop vascular complications. In contrast, the JCR:LA-cp rat develops both metabolic syndrome and early atherosclerosis in predisposed areas. However, the pathology of…

Hyperglycemia enhances function and differentiation of adult rat cardiac fibroblasts.

Diabetes is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease that can eventually cause cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) are the critical mediators of physiological and pathological cardiac remodeling; however, the…

Impact of type 1 diabetes on cardiac fibroblast activation: enhanced cell cycle progression and reduced myofibroblast content in diabetic myocardium.

Diabetic patients are prone to developing myocardial fibrosis and suffer from decreased wound healing capabilities. The purpose of this study was to determine whether diabetes alters cardiac fibroblast activity in the myocardium in a 6-wk…
