homeostasis/metabolism
liver/biliary system
|
• liver weight gain associated with consuming a high fat diet is reduced compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
|
• at 25 weeks of age, mice on a high fat diet have 12.3% more lean body mass than wild-type mice
|
|
• mice weight less than wild-type counterparts after 0.5 weeks on a high fat diet
|
adipose tissue
|
• at 25 weeks of age, mice on a high fat diet have 12.5% less body fat mass than wild-type mice
|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• triglyceride absorption is dramatically reduced (60.1+/- 3.8%) compared to wild-type (91.5 +/- 0.7%) mice and in Pnliptm1Dyh homozygotes (80.1+/- 3.6%) when fed a Western-style diet (high fat)
• using a [14]C]tripalmitin tracer to determine the levels of triglycerides, long chain retinyl esters and cholesterol absorption, mice have 52% less [14]C] than in wild-type mice after 9 hours
• using [3]retinyl palmitate mixed in olive oil or in low fat chow, the rate and amount of retinyl ester absorption is reduced to a greater extent than in Pnliptm1Dyh homozygotes
• using [14C]cholesteryl oleate, absorption of cholesteryl ester is nearly eliminated as in Celtm1Dyh homozygotes
|
|
• when fed a high fat diet, cholesterol absorption is decreased similar to in Pnliptm1Dyh homozygotes
