adipose tissue
• brown adipose tissue is smaller
|
• subcutaneous white adipose tissues are smaller
|
• fat mass is decreased, showing on average 2/3 less fat mass than wild-type mice
• epididymal, subcutaneous, and perirenal white adipose tissues are smaller
|
• preadipocytes show impaired differentiation into adipocytes in culture
|
• adipocyte number is reduced by about half in epididymal fat pads
|
• mean diameter is increased in adipocytes of epididymal fat pads and there is a depletion of the small adipocyte subpopulation
• increase in proportion of larger adipocytes in subcutaneous adipose tissue
|
• epididymal adipose tissues are smaller
|
• insulin-induced glucose uptake is increased in isolated adipocytes from epididymal tissue
|
cardiovascular system
• thinning of the intraventricular septum
|
• increase in heart/body ratio in 30 week old mice
|
• mice develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that evolves to dilated cardiomyopathy
|
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
|
• thinning of the left ventricular posterior wall
|
• increase in left ventricular internal diameter
|
• hearts exhibit cardiac dysfunction as indicated by reduced stroke volume and proportional decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction
|
• decrease in pulse height and heart rate
|
craniofacial
• increase in skull width-to-length ratio
|
growth/size/body
• increase in heart/body ratio in 30 week old mice
|
• mice develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that evolves to dilated cardiomyopathy
|
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
|
• lean mass proportion is increased
|
• mice are resistant to high-fat diet induced obesity, gaining less weight, showing a reduction in fat mass, smaller adipose tissue deposits, lower amount of small adipocytes and more big adipocytes, lower plasma leptin levels, lower glycaemia, reduced insulin levels, a decrease in insulin resistance, improved insulin tolerance, lower cholesterol in plasma, reduction in lipid deposits in the liver and muscle, and lower hepatic triglyceride levels
|
• slight growth and weight retardation
|
• mice gain less weight than wild-type littermates (16% less at 26 weeks of age) despite similar food intake
• chronic treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901, but not rapamycin, results in weight and adiposity gain
|
hematopoietic system
immune system
muscle
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
|
• hearts exhibit cardiac dysfunction as indicated by reduced stroke volume and proportional decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction
|
• in the gastrocnemius muscle
|
skeleton
• increase in skull width-to-length ratio
|
vision/eye
• increase in interorbital distance
|
cellular
• preadipocytes show impaired differentiation into adipocytes in culture
|
• insulin-induced glucose uptake is increased in isolated adipocytes from epididymal tissue
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• on both a normal diet and high-fat diet
|
• on both a normal diet and high-fat diet
|
• leptinemia is more than 4-fold reduced
|
• mice exhibit enhanced energy expenditure at the whole body level, both under normal diet and high-fat diet
• however, food intake is normal, feces contain similar amounts of energy as wild-type feces, indicating normal intestinal absorption, body temperature is normal, and mice show normal locomotor activity and respiratory quotient
|
• mice are resistant to high-fat diet induced obesity, gaining less weight, showing a reduction in fat mass, smaller adipose tissue deposits, lower amount of small adipocytes and more big adipocytes, lower plasma leptin levels, lower glycaemia, reduced insulin levels, a decrease in insulin resistance, improved insulin tolerance, lower cholesterol in plasma, reduction in lipid deposits in the liver and muscle, and lower hepatic triglyceride levels
|
• mice exhibit improved glucose tolerance in the oral glucose tolerance test
|
• mice exhibit improved insulin tolerance
• the dose of insulin necessary to induce glucose transport and to reach a plateau are lower in adipocytes, suggesting increased insulin sensitivity
|
• lipid deposits in liver and muscle are decreased
|
• basal glycerol release is increased in epididymal fat pad adipocytes, indicating enhanced lipolysis
|
• in the gastrocnemius muscle
|
• mice exhibit improved carbohydrate metabolism
|
• basal glycerol release is increased in epididymal fat pad adipocytes, indicating enhanced lipolysis
|
integument
• subcutaneous white adipose tissues are smaller
|
