growth/size/body
N |
• mice show normal growth and development
|
• male mice fed a high-fat diet show a lower rate of body weight increase compared to wild-type mice
• however, high-fat fed mice show no differences in liver, spleen, or gonadal white adipose tissue weight, in glucose homeostasis, in plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin, or in other parameters associated with liver, kidney, and pancreatic function
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit reduced plasma phosphorus level
|
• males show elevated energy expenditure
• however, no differences in heat production or locomotor activity are seen
|
• male mice fed a high-fat diet show a lower rate of body weight increase compared to wild-type mice
• however, high-fat fed mice show no differences in liver, spleen, or gonadal white adipose tissue weight, in glucose homeostasis, in plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin, or in other parameters associated with liver, kidney, and pancreatic function
|
• males show elevated carbon dioxide production
|
• males show elevated oxygen consumption
|
• respiratory exchange ratio tends to be slightly increased in males, especially during daytime
• mice exhibit a rightward shift in the respiratory exchange ratio distribution, even when kept on a high-fat diet, which may indicate a higher metabolic flexibility toward carbohydrate oxidation
|
• mice show accelerated wound healing, with 75% wound closure seen on day 4 post-incision compared to wild-type mice which show this level of wound closure on day 7 and a wound closure of 30.33% compared to 7.34% in controls at 5 hours post-injury
• however, in an in vitro scratch assay, mouse embryonic fibroblasts do not show any differences from wild-type mice in scratch closure
|
immune system
• male mice fed a high-fat diet show higher incidence of inflammation
|
liver/biliary system
• male mice fed a high-fat diet show reduced hepatocyte hypertrophy
|
• males fed a high-fat diet show reduced incidence of microvacuolar steatosis and show lower histological scores for non-alcoholic liver disease
|
reproductive system
N |
• mice exhibit normal fertility
