homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• no significant difference in serum glucose or insulin compared to wild-type mice
|
• whether fed a low fat high sugar or high fat high sugar diet, mice exhibit increased circulating glucose levels in a fed state compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• whether fed a low fat high sugar or high fat high sugar diet, mice exhibit a 30% to 40% decrease in serum insulin levels 15 minutes following administration of glucose compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• when fed a high fat high sugar diet, mice exhibit reduced insulin serum levels following intraperitoneal administration of glucose compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• when fed a high fat high sugar diet, mice fail to exhibit an increase in islet size or density compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, islet glucose responsiveness is normal
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• food intake is indistinguishable from wild-type
|
growth/size/body
N |
• normal body weight and adiposity
