(A) Immunohistochemistry for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR, brown nuclear staining) on pancreatic sections from a control LacZtetOhGR, (B) a Pdx1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR mouse and (C) a Ins1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR mouse. (D) Beta-cell fraction, (E) beta-cell mass, (F) blood glucose during an intra-peritoneal glucose tolerance test and (G) corresponding Area Under the Curve (AUC) in adult Pdx1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR mice. (H) Beta-cell fraction, (I) beta-cell mass, (J) blood glucose during an intra-peritoneal glucose tolerance test and (K) corresponding Area Under the Curve (AUC) in adult Ins1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR mice. Results are expressed as means ± SD for n = 3–5 animals per group. * p<0.05 when comparing double transgenic mice (Pdx1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR or Ins1-itTA/LacZtetOhGR) to control (LacZtetOhGR) mice using a Mann-Whitney non parametric test. Scale bar = 100 µm.
