adipose tissue
• brown adipose tissue is more vacuolated than in wild-type mice
|
• adipocytes are reduced in size and exhibit reduced lipid accumulation compared to in wild-type mice
|
• white adipose tissue is reduced and yellow compared to in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• unlike in Cebpa null mice, normal serum glucose and lipid levels
|
behavior/neurological
• mice consume 9% more food than wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• mice exhibit decreased hemolytic activity compared to wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
N |
• unlike in Cebpa null mice, growth is normal
|
immune system
N |
