Blood glucose levels during intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (IPITT). Mice were fed a semi-purified diet containing 30 mg zinc/kg diet from 5 to 24 weeks of age. IPITT was performed at 22 weeks of age. All values are expressed as mean ± S.E. (error bars), n = 7–9/group. 129P1-L, subcongenic mice with a 34.7-Mb 129P1 donor region in the B6 background; 129P1-SD, subcongenic mice with a 17.7-Mb 129P1 donor region (the distal part of the 129P1-L allele) in the B6 background; B6-L and B6-SD, the C57BL/6 controls for 129P1-L and 129P1-SD subcongenic mice, respectively. All experimental animals were znt7-KO. Mb, megabase
