Abstract excerpt
We report the creation of transgenic mice with an inducible, tissue-targeted expression of a constitutively active mutant form (Q227L) of G(alpha)(s). Mice expressing activated G(alpha)(s) in fat tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle displayed normal body mass and blunted glucose metabolism. cAMP accumulation in adipose tissue was increased in the basal state, but far less than would be expected. Marked adaptation...
