Contract research services within Diabetic Complications
Gubra has long-standing experience of conducting preclinical diabetic nephropathy studies in a variety of different rodent models of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We complement the models with novel histology imaging endpoints and biomarker endpoints.
Gubra offers consultancy and preclinical models within cardiovascular disease including heart failure and atherosclerosis.
Our scientific expertise within diabetes, combined with our experience within micro- and macrovascular models, provide solid data on which to base decisions.
We offer:
- Diabetic nephropathy models
- Cardiovascular disease models (cardiomyopathy, heart failure and hypertension)
- Glomerular filtration rate and metabolic caging for urine sampling
- Advanced histology, image analysis and 3D imaging of heart and kidney
- Continuous (24h) monitoring of heart rate and ECG
- Rat echocardiography
- RNA sequencing and bioinformatics

T1D rat DN model: Gubra Px-UNx
Novel diabetic nephropathy model displaying progressive albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis and renal fibrosis. Diabetes-induction with no side-effects from toxic compounds. The partial pancreatectomy combined with unilateral nephrectomy permits a short duration: 11 weeks
Novel Rat Model of Diabetic Nephropathy Displaying Tubular Fibrosis and Glomerular Alterations
T2D mouse DN model: db/db UNx
Refinement of the well-described db/db model of diabetic nephropathy. Unilateral nephrectomy permits shorter duration (18 weeks of age), where animals develop albuminuria and glomerular hypertrophy. Pharmacological effects quantified by advanced image analysis, stereology or 3D imaging
Unbiased Stereological Quantification of Key Features of Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic rat model with myocardial alterations
Diabetes model displaying cardiomyopathy as early as 10 weeks after diabetes-induction by partial pancreatectomy and pharmacologically induced cardiac stress. In vivo functional (echo- and electrocardiography) and histological (endomyocardial fibrosis) readouts affected.
