homeostasis/metabolism
• doubly transgenic mice begin to exhibit glucosuria as early as 20 days of age; by 70 days, all the mice have urine glucose concentrations greater than 15 mM

renal/urinary system
• doubly transgenic mice begin to exhibit glucosuria as early as 20 days of age; by 70 days, all the mice have urine glucose concentrations greater than 15 mM

immune system
• histological examination of 5 doubly transgenic mice aged 5-68 days revealed heavy lymphocyte infiltration of the pancreatic islets of all mice; 82% of islets, on average, were infiltrated
