growth/size/body
• significantly increased body fat mass relative to control mice

digestive/alimentary system
• liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of stool extracts revealed significantly reduced stool urate concentrations relative to controls, suggesting impaired enterocyte uptake and efflux into stool
• isolated villous enterocytes display a ~65% reduction in [14C]-urate uptake relative to control enterocytes

adipose tissue
• significantly increased body fat mass relative to control mice
• significantly increased body fat percentage relative to control mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• significantly higher serum uric acid concentrations in fasting 6-8-week-old mice
• plasma uric acid levels are significantly decreased following allopurinol treatment
• ~40% increase in fasting plasma insulin levels relative to controls
• mice exhibit dyslipidemia, unlike control mice
• significantly increased total plasma cholesterol levels in fasting mice relative controls
• total plasma cholesterol levels are significantly lowered following allopurinol treatment
• significantly increased plasma free fatty acid levels in fasting mice relative controls
• fasting free fatty acid levels are not significantly affected by allopurinol treatment
• significantly increased plasma triglyceride levels in fasting mice relative controls
• fasting triglyceride levels are not significantly affected by allopurinol treatment
• higher resting energy expenditure relative to control mice, as determined by indirect calorimetry
• significantly increased volume of inspired oxygen in both 8- and 16-week-old mice relative controls
• significantly decreased respiratory exchange ratio in 8-week-old mice relative controls
• signs of early insulin resistance, with an ~40% increase in fasting plasma insulin levels in the context of normal fasting blood glucose and insulin tolerance testing
• hepatic free fatty acids are elevated in liver homogenates relative to controls
• hepatic triglycerides are elevated in liver homogenates relative to controls
• hepatic triglyceride content is significantly lowered following allopurinol treatment
• significantly higher urine uric acid concentrations in fasting 6-8-week-old mice
• urine urate concentrations are not significantly altered by allopurinol treatment
• mice develop early-onset spontaneous hyperuricemic metabolic syndrome that is partially reversed by allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor
• significantly increased heat production in 8-week-old mice relative controls

cardiovascular system
• echocardiography revealed significantly increased basal heart rate, decreased diastolic left ventricular internal diameter with increased relative wall thickness, suggesting cardiac hypertrophic remodeling
• echocardiographic parameters are not significantly altered by allopurinol treatment
• significantly increased basal heart rate relative to controls, as shown by echocardiography
• baseline hypertension, as shown by significantly increased systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure in non-fasting mice relative controls
• blood pressure is significantly lowered following allopurinol treatment

liver/biliary system
• hepatic free fatty acids are elevated in liver homogenates relative to controls
• hepatic triglycerides are elevated in liver homogenates relative to controls
• hepatic triglyceride content is significantly lowered following allopurinol treatment
• increased hepatic fat deposition relative to controls

renal/urinary system
• significantly higher urine uric acid concentrations in fasting 6-8-week-old mice
• urine urate concentrations are not significantly altered by allopurinol treatment
