homeostasis/metabolism
• on a high fat high calorie diet homozygotes do not gain as much weight as wild-type mice
however, on a normal diet body weight is similar to wild-type
|
• on a high fat high calorie diet blood glucose is decreased compared to wild-type controls
|
• on a high fat high calorie diet blood insulin is decreased compared to wild-type controls
|
• on a high fat high calorie diet glucose tolerance is improved compared to wild-type controls
• glucose tolerance is also improved in homozygotes on a normal diet
|
• on a high fat high calorie diet insulin sensitivity is increased compared to wild-type controls
|
adipose tissue

|
• on a high fat high calorie diet total body adiposity is decreased compared to wild-type
|
• on a high fat high calorie diet adipocytes are smaller compared to wild-type mice
|
• the weight of the epididymal fat pad is increased compared to wild-type
