In first studies in mice with a type 1-like diabetes induced by streptozotocin and fed normal rodent chow, 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy and chemical shift-encoded magnetic resonance imaging techniques revealed that compared to wild-type mice, mice globally devoid of Diaph1 displayed significant reductions in hepatic and cardiac triglyceride content (89). The gene discussed is DIAPH1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
