N normal phenotype
endocrine/exocrine glands
• substantially lower increase in plasma Acth levels after 6 hours of restraint stress daily for 3 weeks
• substantially higher levels of Pomc in pituitary gland after 6 hours of restraint stress daily for 3 weeks
• substantially lower insulin level in islets when fed high-fat + high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet
• substantially higher increase in proinsulin level in islets and plasma when fed HF/HS diet
• insulin and proinsulin level in islets when fed normal chow

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• blood glucose level response after insulin tolerance test (IP insulin challenge) when on normal chow or HF/HS diet
• substantially more pronounced weight gain when fed high-fat + high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet from age 10 weeks
• when fed standard chow
• approximately 50% reduction in plasma insulin levels 30 min. after IP glucose challenge when fed high-fat + high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet
• almost no increase in insulin secretion (versus doubling in wild-type) from isolated islets in vitro in high glucose conditions when islets isolated from donors fed HF/HS diet
• insulin secretion from isolated islets in vitro in low glucose conditions when islets isolated from donors fed HF/HS diet
• plasma insulin levels 30 min. after IP glucose challenge when fed normal chow
• insulin secretion from isolated islets in vitro in low and high glucose conditions when islets isolated from donors fed normal chow
• substantially greater excursions in blood glucose, 15 to 120 minutes after IP glucose challenge when fed high-fat + high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet from age 16 weeks
• when fed standard chow
