Abstract excerpt
A prediabetic phenotype of glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and obesity was observed at approximately 12 months of age in mice homozygous for a null allele of the major skeletal muscle glycogen-targeting subunit G(M) of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and derived from a 129/Ola donor strain. In this study, backcrossing of these G(M)-/- mice (termed obese G(M)-/- mice) onto two different genetic backgrounds...
