Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is caused by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Our previous studies reported that paired box 6 mutation heterozygosity (Pax6(m/+)) led to defective proinsulin processing and subsequent abnormal glucose metabolism in mice at 6 months of age. However, high-fat diet exposure could be an important incentive for diabetes development. In this study, we aimed to develop...
