• heterozygotes are viable and develop normally with no apparent phenotypic abnormalities in the unchallenged state
• at 18 weeks of age, heterozygotes fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet for 10 weeks display an impaired endothelial-dependent relaxation response to acetylcholine, that is similar in extent to that seen in wild-type controls
