Abstract excerpt
The relationship between glucokinase (GK) gene copy number and glucose homeostasis was studied in transgenic mice with additional copies of the entire GK gene locus (Niswender, K. D., Postic, C., Jetton, T. L., Bennett, B. D., Piston, D. W., Efrat, S., and Magnuson, M. A. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 22564-22569). The plasma glucose concentration was reduced by 25 +/- 3% and 37 +/- 4% in mice with one or two extra...
