genic constructs. Five articles are devoted to this topic ranging from the B-cell function in transgenic animals to the various effects on diabetes complications. The section on NIDDM, comprising of 10 articles, deals both with new and existing models, their particular widely varying pathogenesis, genetic character istics and complications. The animals reviewed include: spontaneously diabetic OLETF rats, Chinese hamsters, Goto-Kakizaki rats, db/db mice, rhesus monkeys, dogs and an article demonstrating the genetic link between the Zucker fa/fa and corpulent cp/cp obese interstrains.

This new edition of Animal Models of Diabetes provides researchers with updated and expanded information regarding the use models in experiments with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It compiles relevant timesaving information on most, if not all, current well-recognized models for both types of diabetes, including various mice, rats, minipigs, and Rhesus monkeys, and provides extensive references for more in-depth study. Among several other topics, it discusses nutritionally diabetes-prone animals and considerations of insulin resistance and obesity. It also addresses the importance of...
