growth/size/body
• ower body weight than wild-type mice by 7 weeks of age when fed a regular diet
• mice fed a high-fat diet beginning at 6 weeks of age exhibit a lower body weight than high-fat diet fed wild-type mice
|
• increase is liver tissue weight in mice fed a normal diet which is further enhanced on a high-fat diet
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• blood glucose level is increased in mice fed a normal diet
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit highly increased blood glucose levels compared to wild-type mice fed the same diet which show a mild increase in blood glucose levels
|
• plasma insulin level is increased in mice fed a normal diet
|
• both normal diet and high-fat diet fed mice show higher blood glucose levels after insulin injection compared to wild-type mice, indicating insulin resistance
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet develop diabetes mellitus
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• the insulin-positive area in pancreatic sections is increased, suggesting constitutively activated insulin secretion
|
• islets are larger in mice fed a regular diet
|
liver/biliary system
• increase is liver tissue weight in mice fed a normal diet which is further enhanced on a high-fat diet
