Dear sir/madam, I have induced diabetes throgh STZ (90mg/kg) to 2 days old rat pusps, but unfortunately I have observed cannabolism. what may be the reason?
After STZ injection, pups will develop a Hypoglycemia due to the insulin release from complete destroying of beta cells due to a high dose of stz. Automatically the pups become weak. Due to the weakness of the pups, the opposite get favour. To avoid this, administrate glucose solution orally.
Thanks for your response, you mean to say that weakness of pups is responsible for eating of pups by mother (cannabolism). To avoid it glucose level should be control.
