Genetically Modified Animals in Endocrinology

The bibliographic list below is the second installment of the Genetically Modified Animals in Endocrinology database that is being compiled by Endocrine Reviews as a service to the research community. The first part appeared in the October 2001 issue (Endocr Rev 22:719-720, 2001) and listed citations describing the initial creation of knockout mice in the area of nuclear hormone receptors. The list below gives citations describing the initial creation of genetically modified animals associated with the G proteins. In addition, citations of work in which significant use has been made of these animals are included. Because a significant part of the list involves nonmammalian species, these are included. All sections will eventually be made available on a searchable Web site hosted by The Endocrine Society.
