Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by abnormalities of insulin action in muscle, adipose tissue, and liver and by altered beta-cell function. To analyze the role of the insulin signaling pathway in these processes, we have generated mice with combined heterozygous null mutations in insulin receptor (ir), insulin receptor substrate (irs-1), and/or irs-2. Diabetes developed in 40% of ir/irs-1/irs-2(+/-), 20% of...
