Abstract Increasingly, the mouse is becoming the standard model for mammalian physiology
and disease. It can be genetically analyzed and manipulated with relative ease.
Moreover, the endogenous genetic variation that exists among inbred mouse
strains can be exploited to identify genetic control of complex physiologic
processes involved in diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, among other
conditions relevant to human disease. Recent advances in genetics and gene
expression technology have greatly increased the knowledge to be derived from
this approach when applied to traditional genetic studies.
