mortality/aging
N
• mice survived more than a year after single Irs2 homozygous mice died

vision/eye
• rod-driven b-wave implicit time is delayed
• the amplitude of the a-wave is reduced at all flash intensities tested
• rod-driven b-wave amplitudes are reduced
• light-adapted responses are reduced
• across stimulus conditions, cone ERGs are reduced on average to 64.9 % of control response, however the implicit time is not changed
• dark-adapted ERGs are reduced
• across stimulus conditions, rod ERG responses are reduced on average to 34.9% of controls

endocrine/exocrine glands
• increased proliferation and number of normal-sized beta cells compared to wild-type and single Irs2 homozygous mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• expression of Irs2 in beta cells resulted in a persistent compensatory hyperinsulinemia preventing the development of diabetes
• during intraperitoneal glucose challenge, no glucose intolerance was seen unlike in single Irs2 homozygous mice

phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
endocrine/exocrine glands
• at 8 weeks, islet area increased twofold mainly due to increased density of normal-sized islets
• following streptozotocin treatment, beta cell apoptosis was reduced by greatear than 50% compared to wild-type and transgenics did not develop diabetes
• 2.7-fold increase in pancreatic insulin content, 3-fold increase in insulin secretion during the first 30 min of an intraperitoneal glucose challenge, however glucose homeostasis was normal during the 24 week experiment and mice never developed diabetes

homeostasis/metabolism
• 2.7-fold increase in pancreatic insulin content, 3-fold increase in insulin secretion during the first 30 min of an intraperitoneal glucose challenge, however glucose homeostasis was normal during the 24 week experiment and mice never developed diabetes
• transgenic mice fed a high-fat diet became obese and exhibited an increase in insulin levels but had normal fasting glucose levels and normal glucose tolerance at a young age
• improved glucose tolerance compared to wild-type on a high fat diet and in older mice
