Abstract excerpt
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) is known to be a polygenic and polyfactorial disorder. Here we describe the long-term examination of a transgenic mouse line showing the disruption of the leptin receptor (Lepr, Ob-R) gene caused by transgene insertion. The absence of the...
