Rapamycin ameliorates nephropathy despite elevating hyperglycemia in a polygenic mouse model of type 2 diabetes, NONcNZO10/LtJ.
While rapamycin treatment has been reported to have a putatively negative effect on glucose homeostasis in mammals, it has not been tested in polygenic models of type 2 diabetes. One such mouse model, NONcNZO10/LtJ, was treated chronically with rapamycin (14 ppm encapsulated in diet) and monitored f...
