homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit a dramatic reduction in both fasting and fed insulin levels
• mice fed a high fat diet (HFD) exhibit a dramatic reduction in serum insulin levels in both fed and fasting conditions
|
• HFD-fed mice exhibit reduced serum level of IL-1b
|
• mice fed a HFD show improvement in glucose tolerance
• however, glucose tolerance is normal in mice fed a chow diet
• however, mice fed a HFD show no major changes in energy balance, locomotor activity, food intake, or body composition
|
• mice exhibit increased insulin sensitivity on a chow diet
• mice fed a HFD show improvement in insulin sensitivity
• chow-fed mice show a lower Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance and mice fed a HFD exhibit improved HOMA of insulin resistance
|
adipose tissue
• adipocytes exhibit an approximate 2-fold increase in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake
|
• macrophage infiltration in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of HFD-fed mice is reduced
• eWAT from HFD-fed mice shows increased expression of M2 markers and reduced expression of M1 markers, indicating a macrophage polarization toward M2
• adipocytes show attenuated LPS-mediated inflammatory gene stimulation
|
cellular
• adipocytes exhibit an approximate 2-fold increase in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake
|
immune system
• HFD-fed mice exhibit reduced serum level of IL-1b
|
• macrophage infiltration in eWAT of HFD-fed mice is reduced
• adipocytes show attenuated LPS-mediated inflammatory gene stimulation
|
growth/size/body
N |
• mice exhibit normal body weight and body composition
• mice fed a HFD show no major changes in body composition compared to controls
