homeostasis/metabolism
• when fed regular chow or a high fat diet for 16 weeks, serum triglyceride levels are increased compared to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when fed a high fat diet, female mice exhibit a decrease in aortic cholesterol compared to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• however, aortic cholesterol levels in male mice fed a high fat diet are equivalent to in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes and female mice die before completion of the study
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a decrease in cholesterol content, specifically esterified cholesterol, in the adrenal gland compared to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when mice are fed a high fat diet or regular chow, plasma cholesterol levels are decreased relative to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• unlike male Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes, plasma cholesterol levels fail to increased from weeks 8 to 16 on a high fat diet
• when fed a high fat diet, free cholesterol levels fail to increase as much as in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• unlike Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes, free cholesterol levels fail to increased from weeks 8 to 16 on a high fat diet
• when mice are fed a high fat diet or regular chow, esterified cholesterol levels are decreased relative to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• unlike male Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes, esterified cholesterol levels fail to increased from weeks 8 to 16 on a high fat diet
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a lesser increase in VLDL and LDL (3-fold) compared to Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes (6-fold)
• when fed regular chow or a high fat diet for 16 weeks, serum HDL levels are decreased compared to similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes

• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a lesser increase in VLDL and LDL (3-fold) compared to Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes (6-fold)
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a reduced increase of 2.5-fold in liver cholesterol content compared to 11-fold in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• female mice develop skin lesions when fed a high fat diet
• total skin cholesterol content is increased 12- to 13-fold and 5.5-fold for free cholesterol compared to in Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes

liver/biliary system
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit smaller diameter lipid droplets than in Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit an accumulation of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and leukocytes around the hepatic vein unlike in Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a reduced increase of 2.5-fold in liver cholesterol content compared to 11-fold in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes

endocrine/exocrine glands
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit an decrease in cholesterol content, specifically esterified cholesterol, in the adrenal gland compared to in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a severe depletion of cytoplasmic lipid droplets unlike in Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes

integument
• when fed a high fat diet, mice develop a thickened dermal layer with macrophage infiltrate and cholesterol deposits
• dermal thickening associated with a high fat diet is more severe in female mice than male mice
• when fed a high fat diet, female mice develop skin lesions beginning at 9 weeks with scratching and lesion areas that progress until animals cease eating and drinking
• skin lesions observed in mice fed a high fat diet are different than the non-fatal skin thickening observed in similarly treated Ldlrtm1Her homozygotes
• when fed a high fat diet, female mice exhibit severe ulcerations on thickened skin of the abdomen, neck and front limbs
• when fed a high fat diet, female mice develop pruritus (itching) and must be euthanized before the end of the 16 week study period
