Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is characterized by selective destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells in the islets of Langerhans and insulitis. Subcutaneous insulin injections given to diabetes prone BioBreeding (BB-DP) rats reduce diabetes incidence. The underlying mechanism(s) are not known in detail. Previously, we showed that transplantation of 200 syngeneic neonatal islets under the kidney capsule is useful for studying molecular events during diabetes development in BB-DP rats. In the present study we tested if prophylactic insulin treatment of syngeneically transplanted BB-DP rats would protect both islets in situ and transplanted islets from destruction.
