growth/size/body
• mice exhibit a higher body weight than wild-type mice at 8 months of age
|
• livers are heavier at 8 months of age
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit a greater increase in liver weight than wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels are increased
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit a greater increase in NEFA levels than wild-type mice
|
• serum triglycerides are increased
• mice fed a high-fat diet show a greater increase in serum triglyceride levels than wild-type mice
|
• mice develop more severe glucose intolerance than wild-type mice after 16 weeks of a high-fat diet
|
• mice develop more severe insulin resistance than wild-type mice after 16 weeks of a high-fat diet
|
• liver triglyceride levels are increased
• mice fed a high-fat diet show a greater increase in liver triglyceride levels than wild-type mice
|
• primary hepatocytes treated with palmitic acid to induce steatosis in vitro show a greater increase in lipid deposition than in wild-type hepatocytes
• hepatocytes treated with mTOR inhibitor Torin1 show reduced lipid deposition
|
liver/biliary system
• livers are heavier at 8 months of age
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit a greater increase in liver weight than wild-type mice
|
• liver triglyceride levels are increased
• mice fed a high-fat diet show a greater increase in liver triglyceride levels than wild-type mice
|
• mice develop fatty liver disease, with livers showing lipid droplets with increased size and serious steatosis at 8 months of age
• mice treated with the mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin show reduced body weight, liver weight, liver triglyceride, liver NEFA, inhibition of lipid droplet formation
|
• mice exhibit increased susceptibility to high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, with mice showing a greater increase in liver weight, liver triglyceride and NEFA content, more serious steatosis and higher serum triglyceride levels, develop more severe glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, and have larger and more lipid droplets in the livers
