B6 bks d leprdb j b6 db db

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch

B6.BKS(D)-Leprdb/J (B6 db/db) is a mouse strain that carries a spontaneous mutation in the leptin receptor gene (Leprdb). This mutation results in obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance, which are characteristic features of type 2 diabetes. The B6 db/db mouse is a widely used model for studying the pathogenesis and potential treatments for metabolic disorders.

Mice were housed in AAALAC-accredited animal facilities at UC Davis under SPF conditions. Protocols were approved by UC Davis IACUC and studies complied with ethical regulations and humane endpoints. Male and female C57BL/6NTac, female BALB/cAnNTac and male B6.129S6-Rag2tm1Fwa N12 (Rag2−/−) mice were purchased from Taconic Farms at 4 weeks of age. Diet induced obese and control mice were generated by feeding mice with an open-source purified diet consisting of either 60% fat or 10% fat (D12492 & D12450J, Research Diets, Inc) respectively, starting when the mice were 6 weeks old. 4–8-week-old male B6.Cg-Lepob/J (ob/ob) mice and female B6.BKS(D)-Leprdb/J (B6 db/db) and WT C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory. ob/ob mice were used when they were 3–5 months old and equivalent in weight to 9-month-old DIO mice. 6–9-month-old BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (BSK db/db) were kind gifts from Dr. R. Rivkah Isseroff. The female NSG mice (4–5-month-old) were kind gifts from Dr. Jan Nolta. 19-month-old ad libitum (AL) and calorie restricted (CR) C57BL/6 mice were obtained from the National Institute on Aging and were fed NIH31 regular chow with a 40% calorie restriction regimen previously published40 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
