Islet hypertrophy in response to high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet was attenuated in TFGloxP/loxP; MIP-Cre mice. (a) IPGTT (19-week-old HFHS-fed mice, 2 g/kg i.p., n = 5–6). (b) ITT (20-week-old HFHS-fed mice, 0.75 U/kg i.p., n = 5–6). (c) Percentage of β-cell area over total pancreatic area and histogram for β-cell area per islet. (d) Percentage of Ki-67 positive β-cells (f/f, NC: 16 positive cells among 4760 β-cells, KO, NC: 7 positive cells among 3710 β-cells, f/f, HFHS: 46 positive cells among 15005 β-cells, KO, HFHS: 15 positive cells among 7824 β-cells). (e) Percentage of TUNEL positive β-cells. 26-week-old mice, n = 5 for normal chow (NC), n = 6–8 for HFHS (ce), *P < 0.05. N.D. not detected.
