Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

Comparison of mouse species in an in vivo sars-cov-2 challenge model [PDF]
The K18-hACE2 transgenic mice, a model animal having human ACE receptors, is employed in studies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus all over the world. Aged Balb/C mice utilized during the SARS-CoV outbreak were compared to non-T-cell, immunosuppressive Nude ...

Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice [PDF]
Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice (GAL-tg) were generated on two different promoters. Both lines of GAL-tg displayed high levels of galanin in the hippocampus and reduced sensitivity to seizures, as compared to their respective wildtype littermate controls (WT).

Reduced body weight and increased energy expenditure in transgenic mice over-expressing soluble leptin receptor. [PDF]
Soluble leptin receptor (OBRe), one of several leptin receptor isoforms, is the only bona fide leptin binding protein in plasma. Our earlier studies demonstrated that OBRe modulates leptin levels in circulation.
