homeostasis/metabolism
• triglyceride absorption is reduced (80.1+/- 3.6%) compared to wild-type (91.5 +/- 0.7%) mice when fed a Western-style diet (high fat)
• using a [14]C]tripalmitin tracer to determine the levels of triglycerides, long chain retinyl esters and cholesterol absorption, mice have 47% less [14]C] than in wild-type mice after 9 hours
• using [3]retinyl palmitate mixed in olive oil or in low fat chow, the rate and amount of retinyl ester absorption is reduced
• however, absorption of cholesteryl ester is normal
|
• when fed a high fat diet, cholesterol absorption is decreased
|
• mice weight less than wild-type counterparts after 10.5 weeks on a high fat diet
|
• when fed a high fat diet, fasting insulin levels are lower than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• when fed a high fat diet, plasma cholesterol levels are 36% less than in wild-type mice fed a high fat diet
|
• mice are more insulin resistant than wild-type mice and Celtm1Dyh homozygotes
|
liver/biliary system
• liver weight gain associated with consuming a high fat diet is reduced compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• at 25 weeks of age, mice on a high fat diet have 6.7% more lean body mass than wild-type mice
|
• mice weight less than wild-type counterparts after 10.5 weeks on a high fat diet
|
adipose tissue
• at 25 weeks of age, mice on a high fat diet have 6.5% less body fat mass than wild-type mice
|
