Model Description | Serine 59 of the Mapk8ip1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 interacting protein 1) gene is replaced with an asparagine, to correspond with a human polymorphism associated with type 2 diabetes. Feeding homozygous mice a high-fat diet causes a reproducible, but modest, reduction in JNK (Mapk8, mitogen-activated protein kinase 8) activation, but does not increase the susceptibility of mice to diet-induced obesity or insulin resistance. |
