endocrine/exocrine glands
• the percentage of islet area occupied by beta cells is somewhat decreased
|
• alpha cells are not confined to the islet mantle
|
• relative increase in the number of alpha cells
|
• some of the beta cells are irregularly shaped
|
• the percentage of beta cells is decreased
|
• reduction in islet insulin content by 5 weeks of age but not at 5 days of age
• K(sub)ATP currents in beta cells are larger compared to control cells an inhibition of these currents by glucose is impaired
• glucose induced calcium responses of beta cells are impaired
|
• impairment in basal and both first and second-phase glucose induced insulin secretion
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• impairment in basal and both first and second-phase glucose induced insulin secretion
|
• elevated glucose levels develop by P3
• overt diabetes develops by 5 weeks of age
|
• slightly elevated
|
growth/size/body
• seen in males by 4 to 6 weeks of age
|
renal/urinary system
