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 کاملContribution of genetic and dietary insulin resistance to Alzheimer phenotype in APP/PS1 transgenic mice
According to epidemiological studies, type-2 diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Here, we induced hyperglycaemia in mice overexpressing mutant amyloid precursor protein and presenilin-1 (APdE9) either by cross-breeding them with pancreatic insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) overexpressing mice or by feeding them with high-fat diet. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests revealed ...
متن کاملGenetic modifiers of streptomycin resistance in Pneumococcus.
Bryan, Betty E. (University of Rochester, Rochester, N. Y.). Genetic modifiers of streptomycin resistance in pneumococcus. J. Bacteriol. 82:461-470. 1961.-Streptomycin-resistant mutants arising spontaneously in pneumococcus vary widely with respect to the maximal concentrations of streptomycin which they resist. A small random sample of these mutations tested for linkage are allelic or closely ...
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...
