homeostasis/metabolism
• on a high fat diet heterozygotes do no develop hyperglycemia unlike wild-type mice; however, both heterozygotes and wild-type mice develop hyperinsulinemia on a high fat diet
• no difference in glucose level is seen when mice are fed a chow diet
|
• during insulin infusion heterozygotes on a high fat diet require more glucose to maintain glycemia (decreased insulin resistance) compared to wild-type mice also fed a high fat diet
• no suppression of insulin stimulated muscle glucose metabolism or clearance is seen in heterozygotes on a high fat diet unlike wild-type mice
• no difference in insulin sensitivity is seen when mice are fed a chow diet
