Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Tg(APOE-DGAT1)1Far mutation (1 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
immune system
• phosphorylation levels of PERK, a kinase involved in the ER stress response, is increased relative to Tg(APOE-DGAT2)24Far mice

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• plasma glucose and insulin levels are not increased relative to wild-type; mice have normal glucose and insulin tolerances
• a 3.5-fold increase in ceramide levels in the liver is seen, but diacylglycerol content is similar to wild-type
• higher levels of C18:1 and C18:2 fatty acyl-CoAs are found in livers of transgenic animals
• 3-fold increase in liver triglyceride content is observed

liver/biliary system
• 3-fold increase in liver triglyceride content is observed
• phosphorylation levels of PERK, a kinase involved in the ER stress response, is increased relative to Tg(APOE-DGAT2)24Far mice
