Streptozotocin
Streptozotocin, which produces diabetes mellitus in experimental animals, has been reported to reduce the level of NAD in pancreatic isletsand to inhibit islet synthesis of proinsulin.Streptozotocin can induce pancreatic insulitis, which is a new model of diabetes mellitus.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Streptozotocin and alloxan induce DNA strand breaks and poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase in pancreatic islets.[Pubmed:
6272129]
Streptozotocin, which produces diabetes mellitus in experimental animals, has been reported to reduce the level of NAD in pancreatic isletsand to inhibit islet synthesis of proinsulin. The decrease in NAD is due to increased NAD degradation mediated by islet nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase. Evidence suggests that poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase is activated when DNA is fragmented.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Here we describe that both Streptozotocin and alloxan, which also produces experimental diabetes mellitus, cause DNA strand breaks which stimulate nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, thereby depleting intracellular NAD and inhibiting proinsulin synthesis in isolated pancreatic islets of rats.

Streptozotocin-induced pancreatic insulitis: new model of diabetes mellitus.[Pubmed:
180605]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Multiple small injections of Streptozotocin in mice produce pancreatic insulitis, with progression to nearly complete beta cell destruction and diabetes mellitus.
The timing and appearance of the inflammatory islet lesions suggest but do not prove that Streptozotocin acts by initiating a cell-mediated immune reaction.
CONCLUSIONS:
Ultrastructural evidence of abundant type C viruses within beta cells of treated mice suggests that Streptozotocin may activate murine leukemia virus in vivo in susceptible hosts.
