Mice without steroid receptor 2, or SRC-2, a master regulator gene (called a coactivator), that fast for a day have blood sugar levels plummet. If they go another day without food, the mice will die. The severity of their hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, was unexpected. The new study appears in the current issue of the journal Science.
