abnormal lipid homeostasis ( J:81820 )

• blood levels of beta-hydroxybuterate were significantly higher in homozygous mice suggesting higher fat oxidation rates

decreased circulating free fatty acids level ( J:81820 )

adipose tissue

increased brown adipose tissue amount ( J:40053 )

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity ( J:40053 )

• animals did not become obese on either a low-fat or a high-fat diet

• no changes were observed in the body mass, selected fat-pad mass or in total body triglyceride content

• normal food intake was observed

impaired adaptive thermogenesis ( J:40053 )

• increased sensitivity to cold temperatures; most homozygous mice could not sustain body temperature when exposed to cold
