Histomorphometry Changes and Decreased Reactivity to Angiotensin II in the Ileum and Colon of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Histomorphometry Changes and Decreased Reactivity to Angiotensin II in the Ileum and Colon of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic progressive metabolic disorder associated with several gastrointestinal complications, affecting up to 75% of patients. Knowing that Angiotensin II (AngII) also regulates intestinal contraction, we decided to evaluate changes in ileum and colon histomorphometry an...
