mortality/aging
• 35% survival at 1 month of age compared to 49% in controls
• survival rates are similar to wild-type mice at 4 months of age
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• base-line insulin secretion in islets is initially elevated but declines close to normal levels after 50 min of glucose perifusion
• islets are more sensitive to leucine- and glutamine-stimulated insulin secretion but have decreased response to glucose stimulation
• islets exhibit enhanced insulin release in response to exposure of a complete mixture of amino acids compared to control islets which are insensitive to an amino acid ramp
• treatment with 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine to inhibit glutaminase completely abolishes islet responsiveness to glutamine stimulation

hypoglycemia
(
J:113458
)
• random blood glucose concentrations are lower after 12 weeks of age
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• 10 mM glutamine alone causes an increase of intracellular calcium in mutant islets but not control islets
• islets show increased basal ATP/ADP ratio and also a higher ATP/ADP ratio in the presence of 10 mM glutamine
