Pancreatic alpha, beta & delta cells - glycemic set points


That's a long read which I'll save for another day, Boo, but from a skim read, I'm wondering whether an emergency Act of Parliament declaring that the higher normoglycaemia of mice is ok too for T humans will ease things up a bit for all of us!

Why do mice get all the best treatments ahead of us? I bet ya none of these critters have ever paid any tax.

Sorry, I'll get me coat...

Sods law! Then again they do have to contend with marauding ***** cats, let alone researchers out to experiment on tiny rodents so it's not all rosey in mouseland

These unfortunate mice, specially bred for research purposes, will never ever be tracked down by any cat, never mind the marauding ones. Tiddles, who runs the joint where I live says she doesn't maraud any way, she stalks, she doesn't eat them, she's just playing and collateral damage is unfortunate. Having said that her predecessor use to bite their heads off, he definitely wasn't just playing.

PS, just in case, it's meant to be a little bit humorous.
 
My last cat (Boo) lived to 22 and for much of her life would leave me little presents of mice she’d caught on a nights hunting - nearly always with one back leg eaten - leg of mouse must be a feline delicacy!
