growth/size/body
• mice administered alpelisib, a PIK3CA inhibitor, daily starting 48 hours after cre induction (preventative alpelisib) exhibit a normal appearance during the 22 weeks of treatment and a body weight increase similar to that of controls
• mice administered alpelisib 2 weeks after cre induction when global muscle hypertrophy is already prominent for 20 additional weeks (therapeutic alpelisib), show a rapid body weight decrease
• 6-week-old mice treated with tamoxifen for 5 days show progressive weight gain starting at 3 weeks after treatment which is not seen in wild-type mice and around 11 weeks after induction in males and 24 weeks in females, body weight becomes lower than in wild-type mice

muscle
• mitochondrial mass is reduced in striated muscle cells of tamoxifen-treated mice
• mice show skeletal muscle hypertrophy at 15 weeks after tamoxifen, with hypertrophic striated cells
• mice administered alpelisib, a PIK3CA inhibitor, daily starting 48 hours after cre induction (preventative alpelisib) exhibit no skeletal muscle overgrowth 8 weeks after alpelisib initiation indicating that alpelisib prevents skeletal muscle overgrowth
• mice treated with therapeutic alpelisib show a reduction in muscular volume and striated muscle is conserved indicating that alpelisib reverses skeletal muscle overgrowth
• striated muscle cells from tamoxifen-treated mice show an alteration in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential
• tamoxifen-treated mice show higher fluoro-D-glucose muscular uptake

adipose tissue
• tamoxifen-treated mice show reduced fat content

behavior/neurological
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a gain in muscle strength

cellular
• mitochondrial mass is reduced in striated muscle cells of tamoxifen-treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice show higher fluoro-D-glucose muscular uptake
• striated muscle cells from tamoxifen-treated mice show an alteration in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential

homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma metabolites metabolomics analysis of tamoxifen-treated mice show metabolic changes with increases in acetyl-aspartate, acetyl-glutamine, acetyl-lysine, aminoadipate, ATP, camosine, citrate, creatinine, cytidine, decanoic acid, dodecanoyl-carnitine, dodecanoic acid/lauric acid, docosahexaenoic acid, hexanoic acid, hexanoyl-carnitine, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, methyl-lysine, myristic acid, myristoyl-carnitine, octanoyl-carnitine, oleic acid, O-phosphoethanolamine, palmitic acid, palmitoyl-carnitine, palmitoleic acid, phosphocreatine, riboflavin, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, and taurine, and decreases in glutamate, glucose, L-alanine, lysine, methionine, ornithine, threonine, tryptophan, and tyrosine
• alpelisib treatment results in partial correction of the different metabolic anomalies
• tamoxifen-treated mice are hypoglycemic
• mice treated with preventative alpelisib show normal 12-h fasted glycemia
• mice treated with therapeutic alpelisib show increased blood glucose levels
• mice treated with therapeutic alpelisib show increased insulin levels
• however, mice show conserved insulin secretion in the oral glucose tolerance test
• mice treated with preventative alpelisib show corrected circulating insulin levels
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit low insulin levels
• tamoxifen-treated mice show low IGF1 levels
• mice treated with preventative alpelisib show corrected IGF1 levels
• mice treated with therapeutic alpelisib show increased circulating IGF1 levels
