Phenotypic comparison of the Ins2Akita mutation in males of 3 stocks shows comparable hyperglycemia in Akita/+ males on all 3 backgrounds (A), but development of early signs of diabetic nephropathy [increased albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR)] was limited to the DBA/2 strain background (B) when necropsy was done at 6 months of age.
