Abstract
Objectives Animal models are widely used to develop newer drugs for treatment of diabetes and its complications. We conducted a systematic review to find various animal models to induce diabetes and also the suitable methods in various diabetic complications. With an emphasis on the animal models of diabetes induction, this review provides a basic overview of diabetes and its various types. It focused on the use of rats and mice for chemical, spontaneous, surgical, genetic, viral, and hormonal induction approaches. Methods All observations and research conducted on Diabetes and its complications published up to 18 May 2023 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Conchrane Library databases were included. Main outcome measures were reporting the induction of diabetes in experimental animals, the various animal models for diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic osteopathy. The quality of reporting of included articles and risk of bias were assessed. Results We reached various articles and found that rats and mice are the most frequently used animals for inducing diabetes. Chemical induction is the most commonly used followed by spontaneous and surgical methods. With slight modification various breeds and species are developed to study and induce specific complications on eyes, kidneys, neurons and bones. Conclusions Our review suggested that rats and mice are the most suitable animals. Furthermore, chemical induction is the method frequently used by experimenters. Moreover, high quality studies are required to find the suitable methods for diabetic complications.

Abstract
Inducing beta-cell mass expansion in diabetic patients with the aim to restore glucose homeostasis is a promising therapeutic strategy. Although several in vitro studies have been carried out to identify modulators of beta-cell mass expansion, restoring endogenous beta-cell mass in vivo has yet to be achieved. To identify potential stimulators of beta-cell replication in vivo, we established transgenic zebrafish lines that monitor and allow the quantification of cell proliferation by using the fluorescent ubiquitylation-based cell cycle indicator (FUCCI) technology. Using these new reagents, we performed an unbiased chemical screen, and identified 20 small molecules that markedly increased beta-cell proliferation in vivo. Importantly, these structurally distinct molecules, which include clinically-approved drugs, modulate three specific signaling pathways: serotonin, retinoic acid and glucocorticoids, showing the high sensitivity and robustness of our screen. Notably, two drug classes, retinoic acid and glucocorticoids, also promoted beta-cell regeneration after beta-cell ablation. Thus, this study establishes a proof of principle for a high-throughput small molecule-screen for beta-cell proliferation in vivo, and identified compounds that stimulate beta-cell proliferation and regeneration.
