Streptozotocin (STZ) is a glucosamine-nitrosourea which is commonly used to induce experimental diabetes in animals.{21671,21669} It specifically targets beta cells, entering via the glucose transporter GLUT2 and causing alkylation of DNA.{21670,21667} DNA damage induces activation of poly ADP-ribosylation, depletion of cellular NAD+ and ATP, and formation of superoxide radicals, leading to the destruction of beta cells.{21671} The effectiveness of STZ depends on the level of GLUT2 expression, which in turn may be influenced by age, sex, strain, or species.{21669,21668}
