Non-invasive bioluminescence imaging of β-cell function in obese-hyperglycemic [ob/ob] mice.

Non-invasive bioluminescence imaging of β-cell function in obese-hyperglycemic [ob/ob] mice.

BACKGROUND:Type 2 diabetes results from failure of the β-cells to compensate for increased insulin demand due to abnormal levels of metabolic factors. The ob/ob(lep-/-) mouse has been extensively studied as an animal model of type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have shown a correlation between β-cell...
