skeleton
• lumbar vertebral bodies exhibit a 35% reduction in trabecular bone volume and a 28% reduction in trabecular number compared to in wild-type mice
• in a compression test on the L5 vertebrae of a 9 month old mouse, the maximal load is decreased 33% (13.62+/-1.56 N compared to 20.45+/-2.77 N in wild-type mice)
• mice are more sensitive to loss of bone mass, especially in the lumbar vertebra, due to estrogen-depletion that is not accompanied by weight loss than wild-type mice
|
• bone mineral density and bone mineral content are decreased by 5% to 10% compared to in wild-type mice
|
• bone mineral density and bone mineral content are decreased by 5% to 10% compared to in wild-type mice
• however, there is no change in serum measurements of dietary components that might affect bone mineralization
• mice maintain a reduced bone mineral density when fed a high-fat diet despite weight gain
|
• mice are more sensitive to loss of bone mass, especially in the lumbar vertebra, due to estrogen-depletion that is not accompanied by weight loss than wild-type mice

growth/size/body
N |
• mice exhibit normal body weight when fed a standard diet
|
• when fed a high fat diet, female, but not male, mice exhibit an increase in body fat mass with a decrease in lean mass
|
• when fed a high-fat diet, mice exhibit a small increase in body weight compared to wild-type mice (11% increase in males and 21% increased in females)

adipose tissue
• when fed a high fat diet, female, but not male, mice exhibit an increase in body fat mass with a decrease in lean mass
