Description
We are using Type II spontaneous diabetic mutant BKS-Leprdb mice to evaluate the degree of effect of isolated compounds from plants. A further benefit of using spontaneously diabetic animals, is that the animals can show the long-term pathology associated with disease. We also speculate that the compound would also be able to alleviate the defects seen in plasma cholesterol associated with Diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes).
