  • Exploration of advanced techniques such as recombinant-DNA technology and organ transplantation.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven mouse mutations have generated substantial research over the past 4-5 years.
    • Obese mouse models are a significant focus, though their etiology remains unclear.
    • Mutant mice are instrumental in organ transplantation studies (gonadal, pituitary, pancreatic) and neural tissue grafting.

    Conclusions:

    • Mouse mutants are critical tools for endocrinological research, aiding in the study of gene expression and physiological functions.
    • Advanced techniques like mRNA level measurement and recombinant-DNA technology are key for future etiological investigations.
    • Further research into gene expression using techniques like in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is warranted.
