Model Overview | |
---|---|
Model Description | These mice carry the retinal degeneration (Pde6b) mutation and exhibit certain tendencies toward autoimmune disease. A low plasma insulin level is characteristic. Immunologic abnormalities include perivascular/periductular leukocyte infiltration into the pancreas and submandibular salivary glands, and T lymphocytopenia in spleen. Both males and females show early impaired glucose tolerance, development of moderate mature-onset obesity in the presence of low plasma insulin levels, and development of glomerulosclerotic kidney lesions. This strain is useful as a model for type 2 (NIDDM) diabetes. |
