| Genetic information | In C57BL/6J mice, descended from the colony established at the Jackson Laboratory, we found that a spontaneous in-frame 5 exon deletion in Nnt was linked to glucose intolerance and reduced insulin secretion. We rescued the Nnt deletion in C57BL/6J mice by transgenic expression of the entire Nnt gene sequence contained within a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). This BAC transgenic line was prepared using BAC RP22-455H18 derived from a 129Sv mouse BAC library obtained from CHORI. We obtained two independent transgenic lines (B6-TG1 and B6-TG2) and in both lines expression of wildtype Nnt on the C57BL/6J background induced improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin secretion at 12 and 16 weeks of age following glucose challenge. |
