I would like to study the aged T2DM mice and I have 12-month-old mice now. Is it possible to induce them T2DM by HFD+STZ? Most studies induce T2DM from 8 weeks old, but it's too long to wait until old. Some people inject old mice with STZ to induce T1DM, but I didn't find studies that use both STZ and HFD in 12month old mice.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much!
