homeostasis/metabolism
N
• serum proinsulin levels and proinsulin to insulin ratio are normal
• in response to hyperinsulinemia, hepatic glucose output is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• upon hyperinsulinemic clamping, glucose uptake rate is doubled
• in islet when stimulated with high glucose during the first phase and in total
• following depolarization-evoked exocytosis
• increased islet insulin and proinsulin content
• during an oral glucose tolerance test after overnight fasting
• in 3 month old mice fed standard chow
• however, levels are normal after a 2 h or overnight fast
• in 3 month old mice fed standard chow
• however, levels are normal after a 2 h or overnight fast
• delayed glucose clearance during an oral glucose tolerance test after overnight fasting
• impaired glucose clearance upon re-feeding after overnight fasting
• suggested by delayed glucose clearance despite increased insulin secretion
• during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, mice exhibit 1.5-fold lower glucose infusion rate compared with wild-type mice
• severe liver and muscle insulin resistance at 3 months of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• beta cells exhibit increased number of insulin granules compared to in wild-type cells
• however, mice exhibit normal size of dense core and islet morphology
• in islet when stimulated with high glucose during the first phase and in total
• following depolarization-evoked exocytosis
• increased islet insulin and proinsulin content
• during an oral glucose tolerance test after overnight fasting

muscle
• impaired in the soleus and extensor digitorum longus

adipose tissue
N
• brown and white adipose tissue glucose uptake was normal

cellular
• impaired in the soleus and extensor digitorum longus
