1 By administering physiological doses of interleukin-1 (IL-1) concurrently with multiple low doses of the beta cell toxin streptozotocin (MSZ), we observed an augmentation of diabetes by IL-1 in four different strains of mice. CHEMBL4458573 interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
2 Augmentation of hyperglycemia by IL-1 was most prominent in the two MSZ-resistant mouse strains Balb/cJ and A/J. CHEMBL4458573 interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
3 Furthermore, concurrent treatment with IL-1 and MSZ rendered these MSZ-resistant mice susceptible to the development of significant insulitis when compared to mice treated with MSZ alone. CHEMBL4458573 interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
4 Furthermore, concurrent treatment with IL-1 and MSZ rendered these MSZ-resistant mice susceptible to the development of significant insulitis when compared to mice treated with MSZ alone. CHEMBL4458573 interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
5 We conclude that IL-1 synergizes with MSZ to augment diabetes in mice that are normally resistant to the diabetogenic effects of MSZ. CHEMBL4458573 interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
