adipose tissue
• on normal chow diet, mean diameter of adipocytes is significantly lower than in wild-type; cell diameter distribution is shifterd to lower values
|
• on normal chow diet, weight of gonadal adipose tissue is less than in wild-type
|
• on normal chow diet, adipose tissue represents lesser percentage of body weight
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• after treatement with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, secretion is increased to a greater extent than in controls
|
growth/size/body
• 3-4 month old mice are slightly heavier than wild-type controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after treatement with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, levels are increased significantly more than in controls;
|
• livers show increased level of fatty acid synthase expression
• cAMP and phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase levels are increased in livers of mutants
|
• insulin-induced suppression of endogenous glucose production is lower in mutants (31% vs 89% in wild-type)
|
• after treatement with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, secretion is increased to a greater extent than in controls
|
• mutants are insulin resistant; after treatment with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, disposal of glucose is much lower than in treated wild-type
|
• serum adiponectin levels per white adipose tissue mass were markedly increased compared to wild-type
|
• epididymal adipocytes from 6 month-old mutants treated with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists show higher levels
|
• after treatement with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, levels are increased compared to controls, indicating increased lipolysis
• levels are elevated in fasted mutants
|
• epididymal adipocytes from 6 month-old mutants treated with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists show higher levels
|
• after treatement with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, levels are increased compared to controls, indicating increased lipolysis
• levels are elevated in fasted mutants
|
• on normal chow diet, content is significantly increased compared to controls
|
pigmentation
• coat color of mutants varies from white to yellowish brown
|
integument
• coat color of mutants varies from white to yellowish brown
