Bigenic mice (KMCAKT) for renal tubule-specific mitochondria-targeting constitutively active Akt1, and study design. A Mitochondrial-targeted constitutively active Akt1 (mcaAkt1) was engineered as described in the Methods section. A 6x His tag was fused in frame to the C-terminus of Akt1 cDNA. Mice harboring mcaAkt1 were crossed with KSP/CreERT2 mice to generate bi-transgenic mice (KMCAKT) for this study. B Eight-week-old KMCAKT mice were randomized into two groups – one injected with Tamoxifen (TAM) to induce expression of mcaAkt1 and the other with corn oil (CO) as a vehicle control. Each group was then subdivided into either a normal chow diet (NCD) with regular water or a high fat diet with fructose water (HFFD)...J Endocrinol JOE-26-0143. https://doi.org/10.1530/JOE-26-0143](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jhvxskrjpwmdig3viycotbxa/bafkreidia5exlmmvfub4ylv634usqocfxuvilyp3k5uqxwerlwgciseace)
