• mice develop diabetes
• however, over-expression of a dominant negative Foxo1 by adenoviral transfection improves diabetes

N normal phenotype
adipose tissue
• the mass of the epididymal fat pad is increased at 12 weeks of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• beta cell mass is significantly reduced with or without caloric restriction at 8 and 12 weeks of age
• however at 10 days of age beta cell mass is not reduced

growth/size/body
• body weights are significantly greater than controls by 5 weeks of age
• on a regular or high fat diet mutants become obese, however pair fed mutants do not become obese

homeostasis/metabolism
• on a high fat diet but not regular chow fasting glucose levels are significantly elevated
• fasting serum leptin levels are significantly increased and suppression of food intake by exogenous leptin is decreased suggesting leptin resistance
• insulin resistance is seen in mutants without caloric restriction or on a high fat diet

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice exhibit normal hepatic triglyceride content, serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase indicating a lack of hepatic injury
• mice exhibit higher serum insulin levels 24 hours after fasting and 30 and 60 minutes after the start of refeeding unlike wild-type mice
• mice exhibit insulin resistance under fasting conditions
• however, mice do not exhibit insulin resistance under refeeding conditions
