adipose tissue
• in the epididymal fat pad in homozygous mice on a high fat diet compared to diet-match wild-type controls
|
• increased epididymal but not mesenteric, fat pad weight in homozygous mice on a high fat diet compared to diet-match wild-type controls
• on a normal chow diet ft pad weight is similar to wild-type controls
|
• increased accumulation of infiltrating macrophages in white adipose tissue
|
cardiovascular system
N |
• blood pressure and heart rate are not significantly different from diet matched controls
|
hematopoietic system
• increased accumulation of infiltrating macrophages in white adipose tissue
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• total cholesterol levels are similar to controls
|
• increase in nonfasting plasma insulin concentrations in homozygous mice on a high fat diet compared to diet-match wild-type controls
|
• increase in plasma free fatty acids on either a normal chow or high fat diet
|
• elevated fasting triglyceride levels
|
• increase in plasma glycated albumin in homozygous mice on a high fat diet compared to diet-match wild-type controls
|
• glucose lowering effect of insulin is impaired in homozygous mice on a high fat diet compared to diet-match wild-type controls
|
immune system
• increased accumulation of infiltrating macrophages in white adipose tissue
