homeostasis/metabolism
• substantially protected from diet-induced weight gain and maintain normal glucose and insulin concentrations while on the high-fat diet, even though they consume a similar amount of food as wild-type
|
• in the fed, but not fasted state, exhibit a 13% reduction in blood glucose concentration, however, brain, liver, muscle, pancreas, testes, and fertility are normal
|
• in the fed, but not fasted state, insulin levels are about half of those of controls
|
• more rapid clearance of glucose in oral glucose and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests
|
• lower triglyceride levels on either a regular or high-fat diet
