  • Comparison of physiological variables between the Tsc2Mjg+/− mice used in this study (values in Table 1) and Tsc2Djk+/− mice used in our previous study (Saré et al., 2018). Mean values in control and Tsc2Djk+/− mice, respectively, as follows: body weight: 98 ± 1 and 96 ± 2 g; arterial blood pressure: 109 ± 1 and 109 ± 2 mmHg; arterial blood glucose: 6.5 ± 0.4 and 6.1 ± 0.5 mm; arterial plasma leucine: 116 ± 4 and 111 ± 3 μm.
