homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• 4-hour fasted plasma triglyceride (TG) and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels are normal on a chow diet
• TG levels and distribution are normal over the course of 14 weeks on a Western-type diet (WTD) diet
|
• both chow-fed and HFD-fed mice exhibit reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
|
• on a chow diet, 4-hour fasted plasma phospholipid (PL) levels are significantly lower than those in wild-type controls
• plasma PL levels are significantly reduced over the course of 14 weeks on a WTD diet, and at 2 weeks after a high fat diet (HFD)
|
• WTD-fed, 4-h fasted mice injected with Poloxamer 407 (an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase activity) show significantly lower plasma TG levels than wild-type controls, resulting in a ~32% reduction in VLDL-TG secretion rate
|
• WTD-fed, 4-h fasted mice injected with Poloxamer 407 (an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase activity) show a ~32% reduction in VLDL-TG secretion rate
• however, secretion of newly synthesized apoB100 and apoB48 in response to LPL inhibition is normal
|
• both chow-fed and HFD-fed mice exhibit impaired glucose tolerance
• steady-state glucose, gluconeogenesis and whole-body insulin sensitivity are normal under chow or HFD conditions
• body weight gain and weight of metabolic tissues (liver, white or brown adipose, subcutaneous) is normal under HFD conditions
|
• hepatic apoA-I production and subsequent HDL formation is attenuated resulting in decreased plasma HDL-C levels
• reconstitution in chow-fed liver with human ILRUN restores Apoa1 transcript and protein levels to those seen in wild-type controls
• HDL catabolism and SR-BI (scavenger receptor class B1)-mediated HDL selective uptake are normal
|
• plasma non-HDL cholesterol levels are significantly reduced over the course of 14 weeks on a WTD diet
|
• on a chow diet, 4-hour fasted plasma total cholesterol (TC) levels are significantly lower than those in wild-type controls
• plasma TC levels are significantly reduced over the course of 14 weeks on a WTD diet, and at 2 weeks after a high fat diet (HFD)
• fractional cholesterol absorption is normal in chow-fed mice and food intake and fecal neutral sterol excretion are normal in WTD-fed mice
|
• on a chow diet, 4-hour fasted plasma HDL-C levels are significantly lower than those in wild-type controls
• plasma HDL-C levels and TC in fractions representing large HDL are significantly reduced over the course of 14 weeks on a WTD diet
|
• TC in fractions representing small LDL particles are significantly reduced over the course of 14 weeks on a WTD diet
|
• 25% lower liver TC levels after 14 weeks of WTD
• however, hepatic TC content is normal in chow-fed mice
|
• 19% lower liver TG levels after 14 weeks of WTD
• however, hepatic TG content is normal in chow-fed mice
|
• primary hepatocytes show a significant reduction in mRNA and protein expression of apoA-I (a major protein constituent of HDL particles required for HDL formation)
• liver apoA-I protein expression is decreased by ~32% in chow-fed mice, and markedly reduced in WTD-fed mice in line with decreased apoA-I associated with HDL particles of different sizes
|
• total plasma apoA-I and apoA-I levels in HDL fractions of plasma are reduced in chow-fed mice
|
• significantly reduced expression of Apoa4, a positive regulator of VLDL particle expansion, after 14 weeks of WTD
|
• modestly reduced expression of lipogenic genes after 14 weeks of WTD
|
liver/biliary system
• 25% lower liver TC levels after 14 weeks of WTD
• however, hepatic TC content is normal in chow-fed mice
|
• 19% lower liver TG levels after 14 weeks of WTD
• however, hepatic TG content is normal in chow-fed mice
|
• liver weight to body weight ratio is significantly reduced after 14 weeks on a WTD diet
• however, no difference is noted on a chow diet
|
• altered hepatic intracellular lipid transport and metabolism, including reduced lipogenesis and VLDL particle expansion, partially contributing to reduced VLDL-TG secretion
• significantly increased PPARalpha protein abundance in liver and primary hepatocytes
|
growth/size/body
• body weight is significantly reduced after 14 weeks on a WTD diet
• however, no difference is noted on a chow diet
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• both chow-fed and HFD-fed mice exhibit reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
