homeostasis/metabolism
• total T4
|
• total and free T3
|
• moderate
|
• whether fed standard chow or a high-fat and high-sucrose diet, mice re-fed after fasting fail to exhibit an increase in plasma insulin levels unlike wild-type mice
• mice fed glucose fail to exhibit an increase in plasma insulin levels unlike wild-type mice
|
• from islets under low or increased glucose conditions
|
• islets fail to increase glucose secretion under increased glucose conditions
|
• from islets under low glucose conditions
|
• in fed mice when fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
|
• in fasted mice and after re-feeding
|
• in fasted mice, whether fed standard chow or a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
|
• when fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
|
• in mice fed standard chow but not in mice fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
|
• when fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• decreased islet size and density
• however, the alpha and beta cell ratio is normal
|
• from islets under low or increased glucose conditions
|
• islets fail to increase glucose secretion under increased glucose conditions
|
• from islets under low glucose conditions
|
cellular
• islet cells exhibit reduced complex I and complex IV maximal activities compared with wild-type cells
|
behavior/neurological
• when fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet
