behavior/neurological
• increased food intake on high fat diet as compared to wild type control
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increased energy expenditure on high fat diet as compared to wild type control
|
• improved glucose tolerance after 7 weeks on high fat diet as measured by area-under-the-curve values as compared to controls
• blood glucose levels in transgenic mice fed high fat diet decrease more rapidly than controls following administration of IP glucose
• blood glucose levels in transgenic mice fed high fat diet do not increase as much as controls following pyruvate tolerance test (PTT)

immune system
liver/biliary system
• reduced susceptibility to hepatosteatosis after 19 weeks on high fat diet
• transgenic mice present fewer lipid droplets in the liver than controls following 19 weeks on high fat diet
