Combining streptozotocin and unilateral nephrectomy is an effective method for inducing experimental diabetic nephropathy in the ‘resistant’ C57Bl/6J mouse strain

Abstract Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Animal models are essential tools for designing new strategies to prevent DN. C57Bl/6 (B6) mice are widely used for transgenic mouse models, but are relatively resistant to DN. This study aims to identify the most eff...
