This allows for the study of the chronic effects of amylin overexpression. </p> <p> </p> <p>L44 mice were studied for a period of 400 days, with weekly blood glucose and body weight measurements. Three genotypes were examined; hemizygous (HEM), homozygous (HOM) and nontransgenic littermates (NON). Tissue and serum sample collection occurred at three time points:</p> <p><b>T1:</b> 100 days</p> <p><b>T2:</b> diabetes onset (3 consecutive weekly measurements of blood glucose > 11 mM)</p> <p><b>T3: </b>400 days</p> <p> </p> <p>Here, we provide weekly blood glucose and body weight measurements, and the circulating serum hormone levels of amylin, insulin and leptin at each time point. </p> <p> </p> <p>Abbreviations:</p> <p>BG = blood glucose (mM)</p> <p>BW = body weight (g)</p> <p> </p> <p>Sample IDs with a / are pooled serum samples from two individuals, e.g., T1 HEM 1/2 is a pooled sample with an equal volume of serum from T1 HEM 1 and T1 HEM 2.</p><p></p>
