cellular
homeostasis/metabolism
• in vitro insulin secretion by overnight-cultured islets in response to 0.1 uM pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) at 17 mM glucose is significantly greater for islets of transgenic than of control 2-8 day old mice
• islets from transgenic and littermate control mice of all age groups exhibit no difference in insulin secretion at 3 mM or 17 mM glucose alone
|
hyperglycemia
(
J:91709
)
• 2-8 day old transgenic mice have significantly elevated blood glucose concentrations only when the transgene is paternally inherited; the hyperglycemia does not persist in juvenile (1.5-2 months) or adult (6-10 months) mice
• when the transgene is maternally inherited, blood glucose concentration does not differ between transgenic progeny and their wild-type littermates at any life stage
|
• 2-8 day old and 6-10 month old, but not 1.5-2 month old transgenic mice exhibit reduced glucose tolerance following intraperitoneal glucose challenge
• serum insulin levels 30 minutes after intraperitoneal glucose challenge are lower in 6-10 month old, though not in 2-8 day old or 1.5-2 month old transgenic mice than in age-matched controls
|
• 6-10 month old transgenic mice exhibit an abnormally rapid return to higher blood glucose levels, within 45 minutes, following insulin challenge
• 2-8 day old and 1.5-2 month old transgenic mice, however, have a normal response to insulin challenge
• euglycemic insulinemic clamps demonstrate identical insulin sensitivity of 6-10 month old transgenic and wild-type adults
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• at embryonic day 14.5 dpc, pancreatic peptide- (PP-) positive structures are present at lower total volume density in pancreata of transgenic than of wild-type embryos
|
• at embryonic day 14.5 dpc, glucagon-positive structures are present at lower total volume density in pancreata of transgenic than of wild-type embryos
|
• immunohistochemical anaysis of pancreata from 1.5-2 month old transgenic and wild-type mice reveals a significantly greater density of glucagon-positive structures in the former
|
• at 14.5 dpc, insulin-positive structures are present at lower total volume density in pancreata of transgenic than of wild-type embryos
• immunohistochemical anaysis of pancreata from 2-8 day old and from 6-10 month old transgenic and wild-type mice showed no differences in the intensity of anti-insulin staining or in the size or density of insulin-positive structures
|
• at 14.5 dpc, insulin-positive structures are present at lower total volume density in pancreata of transgenic than of wild-type embryos
• immunohistochemical anaysis of pancreata from 2-8 day old and from 6-10 month old transgenic and wild-type mice showed no differences in the intensity of anti-insulin staining or in the size or density of insulin-positive structures
|
• immunohistochemical anaysis of pancreata from 1.5-2 month old transgenic and wild-type mice reveals a significantly greater total mass of insulin-positive structures, without increased cell size, in the former
• immunohistochemical anaysis of pancreata from 2-8 day old and from 6-10 month old transgenic and wild-type mice showed no differences in the intensity of anti-insulin staining or in the size or density of insulin-positive structures
|
• at embryonic day 14.5 dpc, somatostatin-positive structures are present at lower total volume density in pancreata of transgenic than of wild-type embryos
|
• development of the exocrine pancreas - the islets and their component alpha, beta, delta and PP cells - is delayed in transgenic embryos; at embryonic day 14.5 dpc, the numbers and/or total masses of these cell types are significantly lower than in control embryos
• pancreas/body weight ratios are similar in transgenic and wild-type mice at all postnatal stages
|
• total pancreatic insulin content is significantly lower in 2-8 day old transgenic than in control mice
• however, neither mean serum insulin levels of 2-8 day old nor fasted insulin levels of 1.5-2 month old or 6-10 month old transgenic mice differ from those of their age-matched controls
|
• in vitro insulin secretion by overnight-cultured islets in response to 0.1 uM pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) at 17 mM glucose is significantly greater for islets of transgenic than of control 2-8 day old mice
• islets from transgenic and littermate control mice of all age groups exhibit no difference in insulin secretion at 3 mM or 17 mM glucose alone
|
growth/size/body
N |
• unlike human infants with TNDM1, very young (2-8 day old) mice with this transgene do not weigh less than their wild-type littermates; the postnatal growth kinetics of transgenic and wild-type mice also are similar
|
digestive/alimentary system
N |
• 2-8 day old mice with this transgene do not exhibit macroglossia, as do human infants with TNDM1
