Aims: GIPRdn transgenic mice on the CD1 outbred genetic background show loss of functional beta cell mass in combination with a severe diabetic phenotype. In this study, the influence of the genetic background FVB/N (F.CD1-GIPR dn) and C57Bl/6J (B6.CD1-GIPR dn) on the diabetic phenotype and the postnatal development of the endocrine pancreas of GIPRdn transgenic mice were investigated. Methods: GIPRdn transgenic mice were back crossed to FVB/N and C57Bl/6 genetic background for over ten generations. In vivo tests concerning glucose homeostasis and quantitative stereological analyses of the endocrine pancreas wer…
