Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice show profound pathomorphological changes in sympathetic ganglia during the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus. We tested the hypothesis that NOD mice represent an experimental model to investigate cardiovascular changes seen in humans with diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Blood glucose (BG) levels were measured once a week. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed as BG levels exceeded 250 mg/dl twice. NOD mice that did not become diabetic served as control group. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored by telemetry and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was calculated with the sequence method or with cross spectral analysis. The measurements were obtained before onset of diabetes and during the 4th week of diabetes. The onset of diabetes was accompanied by a continuous decline in HR (615+/-14 vs. 498+/-23 bpm), whereas BP values remained stable (108+/-2 vs. 111+/-2 mm Hg). The circadian HR rhythm increased in diabetic NOD mice. BRS was higher in diabetic NOD mice than in controls. Atropine reduced BRS more profoundly in diabetic mice compared to non-diabetic mice. Despite pathomorphological similarities of the diabetic autonomic neuropathy between patients with diabetes and diabetic NOD mice, the changes in blood pressure regulation are different. In conclusion the use of diabetic NOD mice as a functional model for human diabetes may be questioned.

D001919 Bradycardia Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK. Bradyarrhythmia,Bradyarrhythmias,Bradycardias
D003929 Diabetic Neuropathies Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
