cardiovascular system

increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis ( J:168131 )

• zinc-induced mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit increased atherosclerotic lesions compared to controls

• zinc-induced mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit enhanced Ly-6C monocyte/macrophage accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions

growth/size/body

decreased body weight ( J:168131 )

• zinc-induced mice fed a high fat diet develop severe hyperhomocysteinemia associated with a 15.6% reduction in body weight

hematopoietic system

increased monocyte cell number ( J:168131 )

• increase in monocyte population in blood, spleen, and bone marrow of 15 months old zinc-induced mice fed a regular diet

increased Ly6C high monocyte number ( J:168131 )

• zinc-induced mice fed a regular diet with severe hyperhomocysteinemia exhibit elevated CD11b+Ly-6C^hi and CD11b+Ly-6C^mid inflammatory monocyte subsets

homeostasis/metabolism

increased circulating homocysteine level ( J:168131 )

• plasma homocysteine levels are increased in zinc-induced mutants fed a regular or a high-fat diet

increased circulating methionine level ( J:168131 )

• plasma methionine levels are increased in zinc-induced mutants fed a regular diet

• however, methionine levels are normal in zinc-induced mutants fed a high-fat diet

increased circulating tumor necrosis factor level ( J:168131 )

• high-fat diet fed zinc-induced mice show increased plasma levels of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha and the chemotactic factor MCP-1

immune system

increased monocyte cell number ( J:168131 )

• increase in monocyte population in blood, spleen, and bone marrow of 15 months old zinc-induced mice fed a regular diet

increased Ly6C high monocyte number ( J:168131 )

• zinc-induced mice fed a regular diet with severe hyperhomocysteinemia exhibit elevated CD11b+Ly-6C^hi and CD11b+Ly-6C^mid inflammatory monocyte subsets

increased circulating tumor necrosis factor level ( J:168131 )

• high-fat diet fed zinc-induced mice show increased plasma levels of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha and the chemotactic factor MCP-1
