Abstract

Efficient reproduction using natural mating and reproduction technology [in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET)] was investigated in IRS2 deficient mice with C57BL/6JJcl genetic background (Irs2-/- mice) as a typical type 2 diabetes model. From the results using various combinations of Irs2-/- and Irs2-/+ mice, the combination of female Irs2-/+ × male Irs2-/- was found to be more efficient than other combinations. In applications of reproduction technology using IVF and ET, the combination of female Irs2-/+ × male Irs2-/- involves the possibility of Irs2-/- production by repeats using female Irs2-/+ mice. However, reproductive continuity using this combination is difficult because of dependence on human technique and the cost of ET. Therefore, we concluded that Irs2-/- mice should be produced by embryo transfer using Irs2-/- mice from a colony consisting of female Irs2-/+ × male Irs2-/-.<br>
