Nonobese, insulin-deficient Ins2<sup>Akita</sup>mice develop type 2 diabetes phenotypes including insulin resistance and cardiac remodeling
3 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Although insulin resistance has been traditionally associated with type 2 diabetes, recent evidence in humans and animal models indicates that insulin resistance may also develop in type 1 diabetes. A point mutation of insulin 2 gene in Ins2(Akita) mice leads to pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis and hyperglycemia, and these mice are commonly used to investigate type 1 diabetes and complications. Since insulin...
