Popis: To develop a rat model of type 2 diabetic mellitus that simulated the common manifestation of the metabolic abnormalities and resembled the natural history of a certain type 2 diabetes in human population, male Sprague-Dawley rats (4 months old) were injected with low-dose (15 mg/kg) STZ after high fat diet (30% of calories as fat) for two months (L-STZ/2HF). The functional and histochemical changes in the pancreatic islets were examined. Insulin-glucose tolerance test, islet immunohistochemistry and other corresponding tests were performed and the data in L-STZ/2HF group were compared with that of other groups, such as the model of type 1 diabetes (given 50 mg/kg STZ) and the model of obesity (high fat diet). The body weight of rats in the group of rats given 15 mg/kg STZ after high fat diet for two months increased significantly more than that of rats in the group of rats given 50 mg/kg STZ (the model of type 1 diabetes) (595 +/- 33 g vs. 352 +/- 32 g, p
