a
Sera were collected from groups of mice of each genotype at 4 weeks old and subjected to analysis for glucose and other serum components. Values presented are the means ± standard errors of at least five serum samples.
b
Sera were collected from mice of each genotype at 5 weeks old before and after fasting for 24 h. Values presented are the means ± standard errors of 7 serum samples.
