homeostasis/metabolism
• fasting blood glucose is moderately increased at 12 weeks and 6 months of age but not increased 4 weeks of age; however mutants do not display overt diabetes
• fasting hyperinsulinemia is seen at 12 weeks and 6 months of age
• at 12 weeks, but not 5 weeks, of age leptin levels are significantly elevated
• defective glucose disposal is seen at 12 weeks and 6 months of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• by 12 weeks of age beta cell mass is reduced by 40% compared to control mice
• at 9 months of age islet area is increased compared to 12 week old mutants but decreased compared to controls

growth/size/body
• body weight is increased by 4 - 5 weeks of age and 20% more by 12 weeks of age compared to controls

behavior/neurological
• at 5 and 12 weeks of age food consumption is increased
