homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• when fed normal chow or a high-fat diet, mice exhibit normal basal metabolic rate and energy expenditure
• in hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp experiments, glucose infusion rates are normal
|
• loss of acetate-induced PTX-sensitive inhibition of glucose stimulated insulin secretion
• increased insulin secretion exposed to high glucose concentrations in a small volume
|
• in mice fed a high-fat diet after a glucose challenge more so than in single knock-outs
• however, mice fed a normal diet exhibit normal insulin levels
|
• prolonged drop after glucose challenge in mice fed a high-fat diet
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit a tendency toward improved glucose tolerance compared with control mice
• however, mice fed normal chow exhibit normal glucose tolerance

endocrine/exocrine glands
N |
• islets exhibit normal morphology
|
• loss of acetate-induced PTX-sensitive inhibition of glucose stimulated insulin secretion
• increased insulin secretion exposed to high glucose concentrations in a small volume
