abstractText | The KK mouse strain shows inherently glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. When KK mice become obese by aging, dietary means or other ways, such a chemical diabetic state is changed to overt diabetic state associated with frank hyperglycemia and glucosuria. Therefore, the KK mouse is a good model for investigating a process of expression of obesity-associated diabetes. |
