adipose tissue
• mice housed at 30 degrees Celsius and fed a normal chow diet for 2 months show differences in inguinal white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) adipocyte morphology
|
• intracellular cAMP content is decreased in inguinal WAT depot in mice housed at 30 degrees Celsius and fed a normal chow diet for 2 months
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet show larger adipocytes
|
• mice housed at 30 degrees Celsius and fed a normal chow diet for 2 months show an increase in WAT mass
• mice contain more inguinal WAT mass after acute cold exposure than controls, indicating decreased fat burning
|
• inguinal WAT browning is compromised after cold exposure
• administration of CL-316,243, a beta3-adrenergic agonist, does not lead to inguinal WAT browning as in controls or a decrease in inguinal WAT mass loss
|
• decrease in glucose uptake by inguinal WAT after cold exposure
|
• beige fat formation is impaired upon cold exposure
|
growth/size/body
• mice show increased susceptibility to high-fat diet-induced obesity, with mice gaining more weight despite consuming similar amount of food as controls; body weight increase is due to fat mass and not lean mass
• however, mice have normal body weight on normal chow diet at room temperature
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show increased susceptibility to high-fat diet-induced obesity, with mice gaining more weight despite consuming similar amount of food as controls; body weight increase is due to fat mass and not lean mass
• however, mice have normal body weight on normal chow diet at room temperature
|
• body temperature is lower than in controls upon cold exposure
|
• both steady-state and fasting glucose levels are higher in mice fed a high-fat diet for 18 and 19 weeks
|
• fasting glucose levels are higher in mice fed a high-fat diet for 18 and 19 weeks
|
• glucose tolerance is deteriorated in mice fed a high-fat diet for 5-6 weeks and for 18 and 19 weeks
|
• insulin sensitivity is deteriorated in mice fed a high-fat diet for 5-6 weeks and for 18 and 19 weeks
|
cellular
• decrease in glucose uptake by inguinal WAT after cold exposure
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mice have normal food intake as controls on normal chow diet at room temperature
