Introduction/Abstract

This is the first study to characterize the vascular functions in a well characterized and validated polygenic rat model of type 2 diabetes (UC Davis-Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, UCD-T2DM). UCD-T2DM rats exhibit etiology more similar to clinical T2DM in human than other rodent models.
