Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Effects of theophyline on contrast [PDF]
Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CN) is one of the most common causes of iatrogenic acute renal failure. In fact CN is the third leading cause of new ARF in hospitalized patients. Radiocontrast-associated ARF is a significant problem

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

The diagram of the mechanism of action by which UroA regulates RF. ABSTRACT The global prevalence and mortality rates associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been on a continuous rise over recent decades. Renal fibrosis (RF) serves as a critical factor in the progression of CKD to end‐stage renal disease.
