Weights of diabetic and nondiabetic animals were measured just before streptozotocin injection (Day 0), 2 weeks later when fracture was created (Day 14), and 2 or 4 additional weeks later at study end point (Day 28 or 42). The bars represent the mean ± standard error of the mean. All animals continued to gain weight during the study, although the weights of those injected with streptozotocin increased at a lower rate than that of nondiabetic control animals.
