medicine | liver-specific expression of enzyme in db/db mice, a model of type 2 diabetes. Transgenic mice shows reduced body weight as a result of glucosuria. Fasting plasma glucose as well as hemoglobin A1C levels rise earlier and remain higher throughout their life than in control animals. Serum fasting insulin levels are low and elevated by L-carnosine feeding. Insulin resistance and insulin secretion are not significantly affected by L-carnosine serum levels. Instead, a significant correlation of L-carnosine levels with beta-cell mass is observed | Homo sapiens |
