ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Pdk1-null mice died at embryonic day 9.5 with multiple abnormalities, including lack of somites, forebrain, and neural crest-derived tissues
  • mouse strain that showed reduced levels of Pdk1 activity, these hypomorphic Pdk1 mice were viable and fertile, and insulin injection induced the normal phosph
  • orylation responses attributed to Pdk1 activation; nevertheless, these mice were 40 to 50 percent smaller than control animals
  • PDPK1 protein were significantly decreased in the failing hearts of murine models
