| Research Abstract |
We reported previously that prophylactic short-term and high-dose IGF-I treatment at an early age could significantly delay the onset of diabetes in NOD mice, which are an animal model of human TDDM.This report describes the results of the IGF-I treatment in a NOD mouse colony with a higher incidence of overt diabetes. The IGF-T treatment prevented the development of the disease. The animals were treated with IGF-I 17.9 nmol/day at 28-41 days of age and 35.9 nmol/day at 42-69 days of age and observed up to 280 days of age. Three of 12 (25 %) IGF-I-treated animals developed diabetes compared with 8 of 11 (73 %) controls (P<0.05) . The severity of insulitis at the conclusion of the follow-up was less pronounced in nondiabetic treated animals than in nondiabetic controls. These data support the possibility that the IGF-I treatment may protect the pancreatic islets from destruction by diabetic autoimmunity in the NOD mice.
