Article Synopsis
- A new minipig model was developed to study diabetes-related issues like delayed gastric emptying and irregular glucose metabolism.
- Intravenous injection of streptozotocin induced a diabetic state in minipigs, showing significant hyperglycemia and delayed gastric emptying over 80 weeks without major health issues.
- Mitemcinal treatment improved gastric emptying and stabilized post-meal glucose levels, suggesting its potential as a treatment for diabetic gastroparesis.
Minipigs have been studied as a model of osteoporosis. However, little information is available regarding their bone physiology. We established standardized bone data and investigated the relationship between bone growth and bone metabolism in female minipigs.
