Body weight and pancreas weight of T7K24R × Ctrb1-del mice at 3, 4, and 6 weeks of age. For comparison, age-matched data for C57BL/6N mice and the parent strains T7K24R and Ctrb1-del are also shown. A, Body weight. B, Pancreas weight in mg units. C, Pancreas weight as percent of body weight. Individual data points were graphed with the mean and SD indicated. The differences of means between the groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Figure 2.
Histology of the pancreas from T7K24R × Ctrb1-del mice at 3, 4, and 6 weeks of age. For comparison, pancreas section from a 6-week-old C57BL/6N mouse is shown. Representative hematoxylin-eosin stained pancreas sections are shown. The scale bars correspond to 50 μm. Note that the phenotype at 3 weeks of age was variable, see text for details. Although not shown, pancreas histology of 6-week-old T7K24R and Ctrb1-del mice was normal, indistinguishable from that of C57BL/6N controls.
