homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:82961 )

N • mice with this mutation do not develop xanthomas when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet

N • mice with this mutation do not become obese when fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet

increased circulating cholesterol level ( J:82961 )

• on a chow diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant female, but not male, mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of total serum cholesterol than do C57BL/6J controls

• after 5 weeks on a high fat, high cholesterol diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of total serum cholesterol than do C57BL/6J control mice; heterozygous G3 female mice (N=4) exhibited, on average, 4.5-fold baseline levels of total cholesterol, versus 2.5-fold baseline for controls

increased circulating HDL cholesterol level ( J:82961 )

• on a chow diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant female, but not male, mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of HDL cholesterol than do C57BL/6J controls

• after 5 weeks on a high fat, high cholesterol diet, 14 week old heterozygous mutant mice exhibit significantly (p<=0.05) greater elevation of HDL cholesterol than do C57BL/6J control mice

cardiovascular system

increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis ( J:82961 )

• all mice with this mutation fed an atherogenic diet for 5 weeks develop severe aortic atherosclerosis with collagen deposition, atherosclerosis of the pulmonary arteries, and incipient lesions with foam cell accumulation in the coronary arteries

hematopoietic system

increased macrophage derived foam cell number ( J:82961 )

• lesions with foam cell accumulations are seen in coronary arteries

immune system

increased macrophage derived foam cell number ( J:82961 )

• lesions with foam cell accumulations are seen in coronary arteries

cellular

increased macrophage derived foam cell number ( J:82961 )

• lesions with foam cell accumulations are seen in coronary arteries
