Abstract The dominant-negative P467L mutation in peroxisome proliferator activated
receptor-? (PPAR?) was identified in insulin-resistant patients with
hyperglycemia and lipodystrophy. In contrast, mice carrying the corresponding
Pparg-P465L mutation have normal insulin sensitivity, with mild
hyperinsulinemia. We hypothesized that murine Pparg-P465L mutation leads to
covert insulin resistance, which is masked by hyperinsulinemia and increased
pancreatic islet mass, to retain normal plasma glucose.
