Production of a mouse strain with impaired glucose tolerance by systemic heterozygous knockout of the glucokinase gene and its feasibility as a prediabetes model

Exon II of glucokinase (Gk) was deleted to produce a systemic heterozygous Gk knockout (Gk(+/−)) mouse. The relative expression levels of Gk in the heart, lung, liver, stomach, and pancreas in Gk(+/−) mice ranged from 0.41–0.68 versus that in wild (Gk(+/+)) mice. On the other hand, its expression le...
