Variation in Type 2 Diabetes-Related Phenotypes among Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mouse Strains.

We recently have found that apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe(-/-)) mice with the C57BL/6 background develop type 2 diabetes when fed a Western diet for 12 weeks. In the present study we constructed multiple Apoe(-/-) mouse strains to find diabetes-related phenotyptic variations that might be linked...
