This study aimed to examine the effect of mild experimental diabetes with hypoinsulinemia on both the systemic and renal GH/IGF-I systems in a low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Diabetic animals with mild hypoinsulinemia developed renal hyperfiltration within 3 days of diabetes, whereas the renal size increased significantly only between 30 and 48 days of diabetes. Plasma GH levels were unchanged during the entire course of the study, but a decrease in serum IGF-I, IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), and IGF-binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) occurred after 10, 30, and 48 days.
