How come when studies find something is harmful to
laboratory animals, we assume it is also harmful to humans and pass laws
and regulations to protect people from it, but when a positive effect
is observed we ask, "what does this have to do with humans?"

Jaro,
My question is what does this have to do with humans? I have never
been that interesting in curing diabetes in Model C57BL/KsJ-db/db mouse.

Long-Term
Low Dose Rate Irradiation Causes Recovery from Type II Diabetes and
Suppression of Aging in Type II Diabetes-Prone Mice

Dose Radiation Research Center, CRIEPI, Japan
The effects of low dose rate gamma irradiation on
Model C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice with Type II diabetes mellitus were investigated.
These mice develop Type II diabetes by 10 weeks of age, due to obesity, and
are characterized by hyperinsulinemia.
