liver/biliary system
• liver weight to body weight ratio is significantly increased at 12 weeks of age
• however, body weight is normal
|
• hepatic glycogen levels are significantly increased at 8 weeks of age
|
• hepatic triglyceride levels are significantly increased at 12 weeks of age
|
• Oil red O staining revealed lipid accumulation in liver tissues at 8 weeks of age
|
• collagen deposition is significantly increased at 8 weeks of age, suggesting liver fibrosis
• however, no severe hepatomegaly or tumorigenesis are observed over a period of 4 months after birth
|
• after 24 h of fasting, liver tissue ketone body levels are significantly lower than those in wild-type controls
• however, liver tissue ketone body levels are normal under fed conditions
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• protein levels of the autophagy markers p62 and LC3 are increased in the liver at 8 weeks of age, indicating impaired autophagosome maturation
• TEM analysis revealed a significantly increased number of autophagosomes surrounding lipid droplets in hepatocytes at 12 weeks of age
|
• after 24 h of fasting, total serum ketone body levels are significantly lower than those in wild-type controls
• however, total serum ketone body levels are normal under fed conditions
|
• hepatic glycogen levels are significantly increased at 8 weeks of age
|
• hepatic triglyceride levels are significantly increased at 12 weeks of age
|
cellular
• protein levels of the autophagy markers p62 and LC3 are increased in the liver at 8 weeks of age, indicating impaired autophagosome maturation

growth/size/body
• liver weight to body weight ratio is significantly increased at 12 weeks of age
