• increased amyloid beta 40 but not amyloid beta 42 on a high fat diet
• streptozotocin (STZ) treatment leads to 3-fold higher level of blood glucose in mice fed a high fat diet (J:100916)
• these high glucose levels persist for at least 12 weeks after STZ treatment (J:100916)
• when fed a western style diet for 12 weeks (J:130278)
