N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• on a high-fat, Western diet by 10 weeks of age, males are significantly heavier than Tg(APOB)11Rub and wild-type controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• males on a Western diet exhibit increased fasting plasma insulin levels
• however, fasting plasma glucose and free fatty acid levels do not vary from controls
• males, but not females, are insulin resistant; males are impaired in their ability to clear exogenously administered glucose
• males display a human-like dyslipidemia
• males exhibit increased synthesis and secretion of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglycerides
• males exhibit increased apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion rates
• HDL cholesterol is significantly reduced relative to Tg(APOB)11Rub mice
• males on a Western diet exhibit increased fasting plasma total cholesterol concentrations
• LDL cholesterol is increased relative to Tg(APOB)11Rub mice
• males on a Western diet exhibit increased fasting plasma triglyceride concentrations
• IDL/LDL triglyceride levels are increased

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit impaired glucose tolerance compared with wild-type mice
• however, inhibition of fatty acid oxidation improves glucose tolerance

Background
involves: FVB/N
Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Tg(UcpDta)1Kz mutation (1 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• by 27 weeks, mice were nearly double the weight of controls
• evident at 16 days of age and progressive

adipose tissue
• lacked brown adipose tissue
• by 19 weeks, mice had greater than 50% body fat

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• normal corticosterone levels
• hypertriglyceridemia (J:78211)
• plasma triglyceride is dramatically increased over that of non-transgenic controls, and this can be reduced by hepatic overexpression of lipin 1 (J:147417)

behavior/neurological
• beginning at 5-7 weeks

nervous system
N
• histologically normal hypothalamus
