Abstract excerpt
We generated transgenic mice homozygous for the tyrosine kinase-deficient human insulin receptor (hIRK1030M(+/+)) under control of the insulin receptor promoter. Similar growth patterns and results of glucose tolerance tests were observed among normal, heterozygous, and homozygous mice. Insulin tolerance test indicated no significant difference in the hypoglycemic response to insulin among the three genotypes....
