Popis: The functional state of beta cells may influence the rate of their destruction in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. We examined the effect of diazoxide, which inhibits insulin secretion, or tolbutamide, which stimulates insulin secretion, upon the incidence of diabetes in the non-obese-diabetic (NOD) mouse. Female mice were treated from 3–30 weeks of age with diet containing diazoxide 250 mg·kg−1 or tolbutamide 125 mg·kg−1. The cumulative incidence of diabetes at 35 weeks was similar in the diazoxide (16 of 24) and control (18 of 24) groups, but reduced in the tolbutamide group (10 of 23,p
