Among the vascular complications of diabetes, diabetic nephropathy develops in 40% of patients and remains the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Long-term diabetes results in vascular changes and dysfunction, and complications of diabetes are the major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increasing worldwide in recent years. Keywords: diabetic nephropathy, rodent model, albuminuria, mesangial matrix expansion, tubulointerstitial fibrosis In this review, we focus on rodent models of diabetes and discuss the utility and limitations of these models for the study of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, the validation of an animal model reproducing human diabetic nephropathy will significantly facilitate our understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms that contribute to the development of diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, the genetic background and strain of each mouse model result in differences in susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy with albuminuria and the development of glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions. However, the currently available rodent models of diabetes can be useful in the study of diabetic nephropathy by increasing our understanding of the features of each diabetic rodent model. A rodent model that strongly exhibits all these features of human diabetic nephropathy has not yet been developed. An animal model of diabetic nephropathy should exhibit progressive albuminuria and a decrease in renal function, as well as the characteristic histological changes in the glomeruli and the tubulointerstitial lesions that are observed in cases of human diabetic nephropathy. In addition, db/db mice, KK- Ay mice, Zucker diabetic fatty rats, Wistar fatty rats, Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats and Goto-Kakizaki rats serve as rodent models of type 2 diabetes.
Akita diabetic mice that have an Ins2+/ C96Y mutation and OVE26 mice that overexpress calmodulin in pancreatic β-cells serve as a genetic model of type 1 diabetes. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic animals are widely used as a model of type 1 diabetes. Rodent models are useful for elucidating the pathogenesis of diseases and testing novel therapies, and many type 1 and type 2 diabetic rodent models have been established for the study of diabetes and diabetic complications. Therefore, novel therapies for the suppression of diabetic nephropathy must be developed. The CDC says residents should also trap rodents around the home and clean up any possible food sources.Munehiro Kitada, 1,2 Yoshio Ogura, 2 Daisuke Koya 1,2ġDivision of Anticipatory Molecular Food Science and Technology, Medical Research Institute, 2Department of Diabetology and Endocrinology, Kanazawa Medical University, Uchinada, Ishikawa, JapanĪbstract: Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Officials are urging residents to seal holes inside and outside of their homes. But they will settle for scraps from trash bags and cans, private yards, and what they find in the community." "Rodents prefer to feed in and around homes, restaurants, and businesses. "While there is no evidence that rodents can be infected with COVID-19 or spread it to humans, they are still a public health risk and increase your risk of being exposed to diseases," Rockland County Health Commissioner Dr. RELATED | Rats running rampant in Long Island neighborhood They say the temporary shutdown has caused rodents, such as rats, to become more aggressive in their behavior in order to find other food sources, which has led to an uptick in rodent incidents in residential neighborhoods. ROCKLAND COUNTY, New York (WABC) - Residents are being alerted to an increased rodent infestation in Rockland County.Īccording to county officials, the increase is due to recent COVID-19 restaurant and business closures. Rockland County officials are alerting residents to an increased rodent infestation in neighborhoods.
