endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• insulin content in isolated islets is decreased
|
|
• islets exhibit a decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that is more profound in islets from high-fat diet fed mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• islets exhibit a decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that is more profound in islets from high-fat diet fed mice
|
|
• mice exhibit higher blood glucose levels in fasting conditions on both a normal chow diet and high-fat diet
|
|
• both chow diet and high-fat diet fed mice show decreased circulating insulin levels
|
|
• both chow diet and high-fat diet fed mice develop glucose intolerance upon intraperitoneal glucose administration, which is exacerbated when mice are obese
• however, mice exhibit normal insulin sensitivity
|
growth/size/body
| N |
• mice exhibit normal body weight gain, food intake on a high-fat diet, and normal liver mass either on a normal chow diet or high fat diet
