growth/size/body
• modest decrease in mice on a high fat diet compared to diet matched controls
|
• when fed a high fat diet
• however, on a normal chow diet growth is similar to diet matched controls
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• on both chow and high fat diets total and ambulatory activity levels are similar to controls
|
• on either a normal chow or high fat diet consume nearly twice as much food as diet matched controls
|
adipose tissue
• increase in the concentration of the most abundant long-chain fatty acyl-CoA [linoleoyl (C18:2)-CoA]
|
• increase in the proportion of brown fat in chow fed mice
|
• increase in mitochondrial content when on a high fat diet
|
• increased uptake in cultured brown adipocytes
|
• increase in fatty acid oxidation rates in brown adipose tissue
|
• expression analysis indicates an increase in thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue when on a high fat diet
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• on both chow and high fat diets plasma concentration of thyroid hormones are similar to controls
|
• increase in fatty acid oxidation rates in brown adipose tissue
|
• decreased fasting glucose levels in mice fed a chow diet or a high fat diet
• however, no difference is detected in plasma insulin levels
|
• in mice fed a chow diet or a high fat diet
|
• in mice fed a high fat diet
|
• heat production is increased during the light phase in chow fed mice and in the light and dark phases in mice on a high fat diet
|
• when fed a high fat diet
• however, on a normal chow diet growth is similar to diet matched controls
|
• during the light phase in chow fed mice
• the decrease in VO2 induced by a high fat diet in wild-type controls is nearly eliminated
|
• increase in the respiratory exchange rate during the light phase in mice on a chow diet and during the dark phase in mice on a high fat diet
|
• in mice fed a chow diet or a high fat diet
|
• increase in the concentration of the most abundant long-chain fatty acyl-CoA [linoleoyl (C18:2)-CoA] in brown adipose tissue
|
• decrease in the ER stress response in livers and MEFs treated with tunicamycin and thapsigargin
|
cellular
• increased uptake in cultured brown adipocytes
|
• increase in fatty acid oxidation rates in brown adipose tissue
|
immune system
