    Observations
    Homologous murine model was created by replacing Pro-1195 of insulin receptors with Leu. Homozygous mice died in the neonatal stage from diabetic ketoacidosis, whereas heterozygous mice showed the suppressed kinase activity of the insulin receptor but grew normally without spontaneously developing diabetes during adulthood. Under 80% oxygen, mutant female mice survived 33.3% longer than wild-type female mice, whereas mutant male mice survived 18.2% longer than wild-type male mice.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Female average lifespan is 33.3% higher; Male average lifespan is 18.2% higher.
