homeostasis/metabolism
• mice gain less weight when fed a low fat or high fat diet than similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• compared to in wild-type mice when fed a high fat diet
|
• when fed normal chow
|
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit are protected from diet-induced changes in insulin action and glucose sensitivity observed in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• mice fed a high fat diet exhibit improved glucose tolerance compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• unlike in wild-type mice, Ghrelin does not stimulate increased food consumption
|
adipose tissue
• scapular brown adipose tissue weight is increased compared to in wild-type mice fed normal chow
|
• whether fed a low or high fat diet, mice exhibit decreased adipocity compared to wild-type mice
|
• compared to wild-type mice when fed a low fat diet
|
behavior/neurological
• mice eat less on a low or high fat diet compared to wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased feeding after a fast compared to wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
