growth/size/body
• after 6 weeks on a high fat diet, mice gained 30.9% of their body weight, whereas wild-type mice fed the same diet gained 41.4% of their body weight
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after 6 weeks on a high fat diet, mice gained 30.9% of their body weight, whereas wild-type mice fed the same diet gained 41.4% of their body weight
|
• fasting glucose levels are significantly lower for both sexes (116.8 mg/dl versus 92.6 mg/dl in wild-type for male and similar results for female mice)
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet have lower insulin levels than controls ( 2.77 ng/ml vs. 3.49 ng/ml)
|
• mice fed a high fat diet have lower circulating leptin levels ( 4.40 ng/ml vs. 7.72 ng/ml)
|
• fasting cholesterol levels are significantly lower (0.80 meq/liter versus 0.52 meq/liter in wild-type for male mice)
|
• fasting triglyceride levels are significantly lower (100.5 mg/dl versus 142.3 mg/dl in wild-type for male mice)
|
• blood glucose levels are significantly lower 60 and 90 minutes after glucose injection compared to control mice
• mice fed a high fat diet have lower levels of blood glucose than controls (aprox 160 mg/dl vs. 210 mg/dl)
|
• blood glucose levels are significantly lower than controls for the first hour after administration
• the rate of insulin stimulated glucose disposal is also significantly elevated in hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp analysis
|
muscle
• incorporation of radio-labeled glucose is enhanced in skeletal muscle when given insulin compared to wild-type muscle
|
• there is a slight but significant increase in quadricep muscle mass to total body mass ratio
|
cellular
• incorporation of radio-labeled glucose is enhanced in skeletal muscle when given insulin compared to wild-type muscle
