Genetic modifiers of the insulin resistance phenotype in mice.
Insulin resistance can result from genetic interactions among susceptibility alleles. To identify genetic loci predisposing to insulin resistance, we used crosses between different strains of mice with a targeted null allele of the insulin receptor gene. On the genetic background of B6 mice, the insulin receptor gene mutation causes mild hyperinsulinemia. In contrast, on the genetic background ...
متن کاملGenetic modifiers of atherosclerosis in mice.
Atherosclerosis is a complex, multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental determinants. Experimental investigation of the effects of these determinants on the development and progression of atherosclerosis has been greatly facilitated by the use of targeted mouse models of the disease, particularly those resulting from the absence of functional genes for apolipoprotein E or the l...
متن کاملphylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Ocular phenotype of Fbn2-null mice.
PURPOSE Fibrillin-2 (Fbn2) is the dominant fibrillin isoform expressed during development of the mouse eye. To test its role in morphogenesis, we examined the ocular phenotype of Fbn2(-/-) mice. METHODS Ocular morphology was assessed by confocal microscopy using antibodies against microfibril components. RESULTS Fbn2(-/-) mice had a high incidence of anterior segment dysgenesis. The iris wa...
متن کاملPhenotype analysis of aquaporin-8 null mice.
Aquaporin-8 (AQP8) is a water-transporting protein expressed in organs of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract (salivary gland, liver, pancreas, small intestine, and colon) and in the testes, heart, kidney, and airways. We studied the phenotype of AQP8-null mice, and mice lacking AQP8, together with AQP1 or AQP5. AQP8-knockout mice lacked detectable AQP8 transcript and protein, and had reduced ...
