growth/size/body
• 25% increase in heart weight and heart/body weight ratio is seen in aged mutants
|
adipose tissue
• in a non-fasting state, mutants show a reduction in glycogen stores in adipose tissue (54% less)
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• fasting serum leptin levels are elevated in older mutants
|
• serum levels of fasting, but not non-fasting, triglycerides are increased by about 32% at 18 months of age
|
• 180% increase in glucose transport into the epididymal adipose depot
|
• develop hyperinsulinemia with age; fasting serum insulin levels are elevated 2-fold at 1-2 months of age and 3-fold at 10 months of age
|
• develop progressive glucose intolerance with age
|
• insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis is reduced
|
• in a non-fasting state, mutants show a reduction in glycogen stores in adipose tissue (54% less), liver (42% less), heart (48% less), and skeletal muscle (26% less)
