Key result
Experimental type-1 diabetes induced by streptozotocin in rats significantly increased oesophageal circumferential, longitudinal, and shear stiffness over 4 weeks (P<0.001).
p-value: p=<0.001
Experimental type-1 diabetes in rats leads to time-dependent increases in circumferential, longitudinal, and shear stiffness of the oesophagus.

Hypothesis-generating for esophageal changes in diabetes; should not yet influence clinical practice.
Yang et al. (2004) studied Experimental type-1 diabetes. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes vs. Control rats was evaluated on Oesophageal circumferential stiffness, longitudinal stiffness, and shear modulus (p=<0.001). Experimental type-1 diabetes induced by streptozotocin in rats significantly increased oesophageal circumferential, longitudinal, and shear stiffness over 4 weeks (P<0.001).
