• 36.4% of NOD mice deficient for Ptprn develop diabetes as determined by 2 consecutive blood glucose levels above 250 mg/dl by 28 weeks of age while 44.4% of NOD wild-type mice develop diabetes
• 5 Ptprn-deficient mice show spontaneous diabetes between 20 and 40 weeks of age

N | normal phenotype |
|
• double knockout male mice are fertile, unlike double mutant females; no alterations in testis histology or testis weight are observed at 12 weeks of age
|
|
• lipid droplets are found in stromal cells at 7 weeks of age
• however, the number and appearance of oocytes and antral follicles is normal
|
|
• corpora lutea are absent at 7 weeks and at 3 months of age
• however, large numbers of corpora lutea are formed within 96 h after PMSG + hCG treatment; hCG alone is not as effective as PMSG + hCG treatment
|
|
• the typical LH surge required for ovulation is not observed at any of the times (i.e. daily) tested, unlike in wild-type controls
|
|
• vaginal smears revealed total absence of a normal estrous cycle
|
|
• double knockout females are essentially infertile, unlike single knockout females
• when mated with wild-type males, only 2 of 12 double knockout females produce offspring
|
|
• when mated with wild-type males, only 2 of 12 double knockout females give birth and litter sizes are very small
|
|
• double knockout male mice show normal plasma LH and FSH levels at 4 months of age
• Western blot analysis revealed a non-significant (34%) reduction in the concentration of LH in pituitary lysates at 4 months of age
|
|
• at 4 months of age, Western blot analysis revealed a 60% reduction in the concentration of FSH in pituitary lysates at proestrus
• however, basal FSH levels in the plasma are normal
|
|
• at 4 months of age, Western blot analysis revealed a nearly 75% reduction in the concentration of LH in pituitary lysates at proestrus
• however, the concentration of LH is almost normal in pituitary lysates of pre-pubertal mice at 24 days of age
|
|
• no typical LH surge is found in plasma during proestrus at 3-6 months of age, unlike in wild-type controls
|
|
• lipid droplets are found in stromal cells at 7 weeks of age
• however, the number and appearance of oocytes and antral follicles is normal
|
|
• corpora lutea are absent at 7 weeks and at 3 months of age
• however, large numbers of corpora lutea are formed within 96 h after PMSG + hCG treatment; hCG alone is not as effective as PMSG + hCG treatment
