Abstract:Genetic and hormonal factors and their interaction in the regulation of serum insulin level in mice have been examined. The inbred YS/ChWf and VY /Wf strains each segregate into two genotypes which düfer in their mean serum insulin level. YS/ChWf produces yellow AY/a and non-yellowa/a offspring; VY /Wf produces yellow A vy /a and non-yellow a/a young. Serum insulin levels in yellow YS males are lower than in their a/a brothers. However, in yellow VY males, these levels are higher than in a/a VY males. Response… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
