homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit normal resting energy metabolism
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius
• cold exposed mice exhibit whitening of brown adipose tissue and increased lethality unlike control mice
• however, diet-induced obesity is normal at 30 degrees Celcius
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius
• however, diet-induced obesity is normal at 30 degrees Celcius and thermogenesis is recused by a diet containing alkylglycerols
• reduced oxygen consumption after treatment with norepinephrine
• in mice fed standard chow
• however, no difference is observed when mice are fed a high-fat diet
• reduced oxygen consumption after treatment with norepinephrine

adipose tissue
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius
• after cold treatment, brown adipose tissue is paler with higher levels of triglyceride content compared with control mice
• however, mitochondria cristae are normal
• in brown adipose tissue at 22 and 4 degrees Celsius
• in white adipose tissue at 4 degrees Celsius
• however, mitochondrial DNA content is recused by a diet containing alkylglycerols
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius

growth/size/body
• in mice fed a high-fat diet at 22 degrees Celcius
• cold exposed mice exhibit whitening of brown adipose tissue and increased lethality unlike control mice
• however, diet-induced obesity is normal at 30 degrees Celcius

behavior/neurological
N
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit normal food intake and physical activity

cellular
• in brown adipose tissue at 22 and 4 degrees Celsius
• in white adipose tissue at 4 degrees Celsius
• however, mitochondrial DNA content is recused by a diet containing alkylglycerols
• impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and modest reduction in citrate synthase activity
• however, mitochondrial function is improved by a diet containing alkylglycerols
