homeostasis/metabolism
• fasting glycemia is increased on a standard chow diet
• mice develop diabetes mellitus based on fasting hyperglycemia and lack of compensatory increase in insulin secretion when fed a high-fat/sucrose/cholesterol (HFSC) diet for 6 months
|
• increase in fasting insulin levels on standard chow diet
|
• mice exhibit cholesterolemia on both a standard chow diet and a high-fat/sucrose/cholesterol (HFSC) diet
|
cardiovascular system
• mice fed the HFSC diet show higher expression of osteogenic genes in the aortic root
• mice fed the HFSC diet show aortic root fibrosis
|
• HFSC-fed mice exhibit increased expression of hypertrophic cardiac markers
|
• increase in left ventricular mass on both a chow and HFSC diet
|
• left ventricular hypertrophy in HFSC-fed mice
|
• mice fed the HFSC diet show aortic valve fibrosis
|
• 80% of mice fed the HFSC diet for 6 months develop aortic stenosis, with mice showing increased peak aortic jet velocity, peak transvalvular pressure gradient, and mean transvalvular pressure gradient; magnitude of aortic stenosis is greater than in double Apob and Ldlr homozygotes
|
• HFSC-fed mice exhibit aortic valve calcification
|
• aortic valve area is decreased in HFSC-fed mice
|
• total ventricular weight corrected for body weight is elevated in mice fed the HFSC diet
• when corrected for tibia length, the total ventricular weight is increased in mice either on the chow or HFSC diet
|
• mice fed the HFSC diet show aortic root fibrosis and aortic valve fibrosis
|
• echocardiography shows impaired left ventricular function in mice fed a chow diet with worsening cardiac dysfunction on the HFSC diet
• the mitral E/E ratio (mitral inflow measured by pulsed-wave over tissue Doppler) is increased in mice on the HFSC diet
• isovolumic relaxation time, corrected for heart rate, is decreased in mice on the HFSC diet
|
• cardiac output is increased in mice fed the HFSC diet
|
• stroke volume is increased in mice fed the HFSC diet
|
• reduction in systolic fractional shortening in mice fed the HFSC diet
|
• some areas of the aortic surface leaflet from HFSC-fed mice are denuded of endothelial cells and show presence of inflammatory cell aggregates, platelets, and fibrin covering the extracellular matrix
|
immune system
• some areas of the aortic surface leaflet from HFSC-fed mice are denuded of endothelial cells and show presence of inflammatory cell aggregates, platelets, and fibrin covering the extracellular matrix
|
muscle
• left ventricular hypertrophy in HFSC-fed mice
|
• reduction in systolic fractional shortening in mice fed the HFSC diet
|
growth/size/body
• HFSC-fed mice exhibit increased expression of hypertrophic cardiac markers
|
