physiological function | transgenic mice, betaGlud1-/-, are generated bearing a beta-cell-specific GDH deletion. In situ pancreatic perfusion reveals that glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is reduced by 37% in transgenic mice. Isolated islets with either constitutive or acute adenovirus-mediated knock-out of GDH show a 49 and 38% reduction in glucose-induced insulin release, respectively. Adenovirus-mediated re-expression of GDH in transgenic mice fully restores glucose-induced insulin release. In transgenic mice reduced secretory capacity results in lower plasma insulin levels in response to both feeding and glucose load, while body weight gain is preserved | Mus musculus |
