adipose tissue
• bone marrow adiposity is increased in a time-dependent manner
|
• adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells is enhanced
|
• adipose tissue weight is increased under both regular diet and high-fat diet, and total, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue area is larger
• however, brown adipose tissue weight is normal
|
• relative number of adipocytes is increased
|
• adipocyte diameter is increased
|
cellular
• adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells is enhanced
|
• osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells is reduced
|
growth/size/body
N |
• body weight gain and size are not different from wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show higher leptin level when fed a high-fat diet
• however, leptin level is normal on a regular diet
|
• mice develop glucose intolerance, showing increased blood glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test when fed either a regular diet or high-fat diet
|
• mice develop insulin resistance, showing increased fasting level of serum insulin in an oral glucose tolerance test
• homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is increased
|
• mice show lower adiponectin levels when fed a high-fat diet
• however, adiponectin levels are normal on a regular diet
|
reproductive system
skeleton
• bone marrow adiposity is increased in a time-dependent manner
|
• osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells is reduced
|
• vertebral bone mass is reduced
|
• total, cortical, and cancellous bone mineral density of the vertebra and femur are reduced after weaning
• however, bone mineral density of calvaria, a non-weight bearing bone, is almost the same as in wild-type mice
|
• cortical bone mineral density of the vertebra and femur are reduced after weaning
|
• cancellous bone mineral density of the vertebra and femur are reduced after weaning
|
• bone formation response to mechanical reloading is blunted, with bone formation parameters after reloading not recovering fully and bone resorption parameters decreasing to baseline levels
|
• vertebra show reduced bone formation and unchanged bone resorption
• serum bone formation markers are reduced while bone resorption marker is unchanged
