i am making animal model for diabetes mellitus using mice induced with streptozotocin dose 100mg/kg bw at day 1 then followed by 50 mg/kg bw at day 14 as a booster, from 40 animal, only 19 animal develop diabetes mellitus with blood glucose above 280 (i am using blood glucose level limit above 300mg/dl). i am using citrate buffer pH 4.8 for streptozotocin solution injected in intraperitoneal, my question is why can i only get 50% probability for diabetes mice , and what should i do if after second dose (50mg/kg bw) there are still normal blood glucose on mice?
