INS and type 1 diabetes mellitus: The present results postulated that the treatment of STZ-induced T1DM mice with sodium citrate buffer, insulin, adoptively transferred nBMCs and adoptively transferred dBMCs led to slight increase in the relative % of lymphocytes comparing to that in naive mice received sodium citrate buffer (84.55 ± 0.55, 84.80 ± 0.90, 81.65 ± 1.65 and 90.85 ± 1.85%, respectively versus 80.00 ± 0.80%) (Fig. 9B).
