adipose tissue phenotype

  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype

  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
  • female mice have a less extreme but still significant weight gain compared to controls after 20 weeks on a high fat diet
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

• lipidosis
  • a higher uptake of free fatty acids derived from plasma triglyceride leads to a greater increase in adipose tissue mass when mice are fed a high fat diet
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
  • the triglyceride hydrolase actively of the mouse plasma is 78% greater than in controls
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

  • mice fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks have a mean ketone bodies level of 1.75 mmol/l compared to 1.29 mmol/l in control mice
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

• decreased energy expenditure
  • mice have increased gains in body weight per gram of food consumed after being on a high fat diet for 2 weeks
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
  • differences in energy expenditure gradually decrease but are still significantly less after 20 weeks to the switch to a high fat diet
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
  • the greatest difference in energy expenditure between these mice and control mice is at 4 weeks after the switch to a high fat diet
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

• insulin resistance
  • mice subjected to hyperinsulinemic conditions after being fed a high fat diet for 20 weeks have twice as much insulin in their sera and 4 times less ability to clear insulin
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
  • the insulin-mediated whole body glucose uptake of these mice under these conditions is reduced by more than half compared to controls
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)

• abnormal blood homeostasis
  (MGI Ref ID J:105136)
