Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats: behavioural evidence for a model of chronic pain
Abstract
Painful diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of insulin-dependent diabetes in man. Conflicting results have been obtained in experimentally diabetic animals subjected to pain stimuli. This work aimed to systematically study the response of rats made diabetic (hyperglycemia > or = 14 mM) by injection of streptozocin (STZ) (75 mg/kg, i.p.), to various pain stimuli: mechanical, thermal (warm and cold) and chemical. The time course of the scores was followed for 4 weeks simultaneously with the clinical symptoms (weight, body and skin temperature, motility) and hyperglycemia. A decrease in reaction thresholds to noxious heat stimuli (44 degrees C and 46 degrees C) and to non-painful thermal (cold: 10 degrees C, and warm: 38-42 degrees C) and mechanical stimulation (paw pressure) was observed. This can be considered as evidence for hyperalgesia and allodynia, respectively. These troubles appeared gradually and required at least 2 weeks of diabetes to reach statistical significance. Four weeks after the induction of diabetes, the scores obtained in diabetic rats injected with formalin were greater than those in normal rats, indicating hyperalgesia. Variation in sensitivity to pain occurred at the same time as arrested weight increase, fall in skin temperature, some amyotrophy measured in terms of hind-paw volume, and the usual polyuria-polydipsia syndrome. Spontaneous motor activity of the rats was lowered. This model is thus of interest as the observed reactions to noxious and non-noxious stimuli correspond to hyperalgesia and allodynia, symptoms encountered in painful diabetic neuropathy in man. Operating conditions for this model are discussed.

In the citing paper
“STZ-induced diabetes produces consistent, long-lasting thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia, in addition to cold and mechanical allodynia (Courteix et al, 1993), associated with hyperexcitability of nociceptive C fibers in response to mechanical stimuli.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
