|
• in hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, mice fed regular chow or a high-fat diet exhibit increased steady-state glucose infusion rate and increased glucose disposable rate compared with wild-type mice
|
• asprosin treatment fails to increase blood glucose levels at 10 or 40 weeks of age, unlike in wild-type controls
|
• when fed regular chow or a high-fat diet
|

|
• whether fed regular chow or a high-fat diet
|
• reduced glucose output from hepatocyte from cultured hepatocytes and in mice whether fed regular chow or a high-fat diet
• reduced asprosin-induced glucose production in hepatocytes

growth/size/body
N |
• 10-week-old ad lib-fed males show normal body weight relative to wild-type controls
• asprosin treatment has no effect on body weight at 10 or 40 weeks of age, similar to wild-type controls
|
• when fed regular chow and more so when fed a high-fat diet
(J:279017)
|
|
• at 12 and 16 weeks of age, males fed regular chow show significantly lower body weight than similarly fed wild-type controls
(J:314392)
|
• males fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks show significantly lower body weight gain than similarly fed wild-type controls
|
behavior/neurological

|
reproductive system
N |
• at 10 weeks of age, ad lib-fed males show normal testis weight, morphology and histology with no differences in sperm number, sperm viability or morphology, or frequency of copulation plugs relative to wild-type controls
• asprosin treatment has no effect on testis weight, morphology and histology, or sperm number, sperm viability and morphology at 10 or 40 weeks of age, similar to wild-type controls
• sperm number and sperm viability are normal whether mice are fed regular chow or a high-fat diet for 8 weeks
|
• when mated with wild-type females, 10-week-old ad lib-fed males exhibit reduced fertilization potential relative to wild-type males
• asprosin treatment fails to significantly increase the fertilization potential of 10- or 40-week-old males, unlike in wild-type controls
|
• when 10-week-old ad lib-fed males are mated with wild-type females, the % of 2-cell states is significantly lower than that for wild-type controls (50% vs 75%)
• however, the % of 2-cell states following in vitro fertilization is normal
|
• 10-week-old ad lib-fed males show reduced sperm ATP content
• asprosin treatment fails to significantly increase the ATP and cAMP content in sperm from 10- or 40-week-old males, unlike in wild-type controls
|
• at 10 and 40 weeks of age, ad lib-fed males exhibit severely reduced sperm progressive motility relative to age-matched wild-type controls
• asprosin treatment fails to significantly enhance progressive motility in sperm from 10- or 40-week-old males, unlike in age-matched wild-type controls
• sperm progressive motility is reduced both on regular chow and a high-fat diet
|
• at 10 weeks of age, ad lib-fed males show a dramatic increase in the % of sperm with slow motility
|
