Streptozotocin (STZ) diabetes was induced in spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and
normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Body weight, blood pressure, renal function,
glycaemic control and proteinuria were assessed monthly for 32 weeks. At 32 weeks, the
animals were killed and glomerular basement membrane (GBM) thickness and fractional
mesangial volume were measured
