N normal phenotype
adipose tissue
• abdominal fat is reduced by about 30%

endocrine/exocrine glands
• beta cell number is reduced, not individual cell size, beta cell proliferation is reduced
• islets are reduced in size and beta cell area is reduced by 30%

growth/size/body
• both body size and weight are reduced to about 70% of wild-type

homeostasis/metabolism
• insulin levels are reduced by about 30% (detectable by 6 weeks of age)
• glucose intolerant; glucose tolerance tests demonstrated that there is a dampened glucose stimulated release of insulin early (15 min) but glucose levels return to normal by 120 minutes
• basal lipolysis levels in adipose tissues are 2X normal
