Post-stroke hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus are associated with lower thrombolytic efficacy and an increased risk of post-ischemic cerebral hemorrhage. We aimed to develop a rodent model of thrombolysis in diabetic stroke that mimics the clinical situation. Male 6 weeks type I diabetic rats (14 weeks old) rats were subjected to embolic focal stroke and treated with tPA at 1.5 hours. Reperfusion and 24-hour neurological outcomes were measured and compared to non-diabetic control rats. Diabetic rats exhibited resistance to thrombolytic reperfusion, larger infarction volumes, and increased intracerebral hemorrhage. This animal model would be relevant to future studies investigating pathophysiological mechanisms and in developing new therapeutic approaches to enhance the efficacy of tPA thombolysis in stroke patients with diabetes or post-stroke hyperglycemia.
