Abstract excerpt
Both diabetes (db/db) and obese (ob/ob) genotype mutations induce a hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic endometabolic state in C57BL mice, manifesting a type II NIDDM diabetes-obesity syndrome (DOS) in these leptin ligand/receptor-deficient models. The severity of the DOS induced by these single gene, homozygous-recessive mutations may be moderated by the background genome on which the mutation is expressed. The...
