reproductive system
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• despite obesity, leptin, noreponephrin, epinephrin, testosterone, adiponectin, T3, and corticosterone serum levels are normal
|
• mice exhibit defective adaptive thermogenesis compared to wild-type mice
|
• at night
|
adipose tissue
• brown adipose tissue exhibits increased fat content compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit increased body fat compared to wild-type mice
|
• beta-adrenergic-stimulated oxygen consumption and glycerol release in brown adipose tissue is reduced compared to in wild-type mice

growth/size/body
liver/biliary system
muscle
• large fat droplets are observed in muscles unlike in wild-type mice
|
• beta-oxidization in primary muscle is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• glycerol release from the soleus muscle is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• despite obesity, mice exhibit normal food intake regardless of diet fat content
