Abstract excerpt
AIM/HYPOTHESIS: Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease characterised by hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia, dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance accompanied by inflammation. Previously, we showed that mice lacking the Wdr13 gene had increased islet mass due to enhanced beta cell proliferation. We hypothesised that introgression of a Wdr13-null mutation, a beta cell-proliferative phenotype, into Lepr(db/db) mice, a...
