phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
• insulin/glucose ratio in fasted adults is significantly greater than in wild-type
• mice are more sensitive to glucose and islets secret insulin in response to 4.0 mM glucose
• basal glucose levels are lower than in heterozygotes (57.8 mg/dl vs 78.8 mg/dl)
• fasted 4-week old mice display mild hypoglycemia
• despite lower plasma glucose levels than wild-type, mice have similar plasma insulin levels relative to wild-type; insulin levels are lower than in heterozygous mice (0.32 ng/ml vs 0.45 ng/ml)
• glucokinase activity is reduced by 71.9% relative to wild-type

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice are more sensitive to glucose and islets secret insulin in response to 4.0 mM glucose
