cellular
• injection with the beta cell toxin streptozocin (STZ) results in lowered blood glucose levels in 4-6 month old mice (11 weeks post treatment) as compared to wild-type
• injection with the beta cell toxin streptozocin (STZ) results in lowered blood glucose levels in 9-14 month old mice (7 weeks post treatment) as compared to wild-type
|
• islet cell proliferation is increased in 10-12 month old mutant mice at 3 and at 30 days post-STZ treatment as compared to wild-type

homeostasis/metabolism
• pancreatic islet proliferation is decreased in aged (22-24 month old) mice, but is similar to wild-type in young mice
