A congenic mouse model was generated to study purinergic signaling dysfunction by crossing the naturally hypomorphic C57BL6 P2rx7 allele onto the 129SvJ background, creating P2x7-C57 and P2x7-129 comparison groups. Both male and female mice underwent glucose tolerance testing to assess glucose homeostasis. The P2x7-C57 mice (carrying the hypomorphic allele) demonstrated impaired glucose tolerance compared with matched P2x7-129 mice, providing functional evidence for the role of P2X7 in glucose regulation. This model allowed for controlled genetic comparison of P2rx7 function in glucose homeostasis.
