002423 NON/ShiLtJ
Level 3
Although closely related to NOD mice, NON mice contain a diabetes resistant MHC haplotype (H2nb1 = Kb, Anb1, Ek, Db). The name was derived from "Non-Obese Non-diabetic"; however, NON/ShiLtJ mice should not be considered "normal." They carry the retinal degeneration (Pde6b) mutation and exhibit certain tendencies toward autoimmune disease. This strain maintains a low plasma insulin level, which may account in part why certain loci from NON/ShiLt can enhance development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes in segregating hybrid mice following outcross to NOD/ShiLtJ. The NON strain-characteristic immunologic abnormalities include perivascular/periductular leukocyte infiltration into the pancreas and submandibular salivary glands, and T lymphocytopenia evident by 20 weeks of age in spleen. NON/ShiLt mice clearly harbor genes predisposing to type 2 diabetes, as evidenced by early impaired glucose tolerance in males and females, d .....

002111 C3.SW/Lt-Chr YSW/J
Repository-Cryopreserved
C3.SW-H2b/SnJ (Stock number 000438) males exhibit maturity onset impairment of glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemia. In contrast to Stock number 002110, this strain carries the C3.SW-H2b/SnJ Y chromosome. Males develop extreme hyperinsulinemia, transiently elevated plasma glucose and extreme islet hyperplasia. This strain and Stock number 002110 demonstrate that the Y chromosome modulates the level of hyperinsulinemic and glycemic stress exerted upon pancreatic beta cells.
