Streptozotocin treatment in vivo
generates a model of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
via destruction of the pancreatic
-cells responsible for insulin
secretion. Tissue-specific expression of the Q205L constitutively
activated mutant form of the G-protein Gi
2 in
vivo ameliorates streptozotocin-induced
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in transgenic mice.
Conditional expression of Q205L Gi
2 in vivo
in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue markedly rectifies
glucose tolerance, fasting glucose levels, and glycogen synthase
activation in the mice with insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus, providing a novel therapeutic target for diabetes.
