Knowing that Angiotensin II (AngII) also regulates intestinal contraction, we decided to evaluate changes in ileum and colon histomorphometry and AngII reactivity in a rat model of DM. Streptozotocin (STZ, 55 mg\/kg) was administered to induce DM to 24 adult male Wistar rats. Diabetic rats displayed all the characteristic signs of type 1 DM (T1DM) and fecal excretion increased about 4-fold over 14 days, while the excretion of controls remained unaltered. Compared to controls, diabetic ileum and colon presented an increase in both macroscopic (length, perimeter and weight) and microscopic (muscular wall thickness) parameters. Functionally, AngII-induced smooth muscle contraction was lower in diabetic rats, except in the distal colon. These differences in the contractile response to AngII may result from an imbalance between AngII type 1 (antagonized by candesartan, 10 nM) and type 2 receptors activation (antagonized by PD123319, 100 nM). Taken together, these results indicate that an early and refined STZ-induced T1DM rat model already shows structural remodelling of the gut wall and decreased contractile response to AngII, findings that may help to explain diabetic dysmotility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms232113233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]],"date-time":"2022-11-02T06:42:17Z","timestamp":1667371337000},"page":"13233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Histomorphometry Changes and Decreased Reactivity to Angiotensin II in the Ileum and Colon of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0585-3905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marisa","family":"Esteves-Monteiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Immuno-Physiology and Pharmacology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, University of Porto (ICBAS-UP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (FFUP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Menezes-Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (FFUP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Mariana","family":"Ferreira-Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (FFUP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8845-794X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Dias-Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Immunology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, University of Porto (ICBAS-UP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9509-0613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Morato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (FFUP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4727-727X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarida","family":"Duarte-Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Immuno-Physiology and Pharmacology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, University of Porto (ICBAS-UP), 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.4239\/wjd.v4.i3.51","article-title":"Gastrointestinal complications of diabetes mellitus","volume":"4","author":"Krishnan","year":"2013","journal-title":"World J.
