homeostasis/metabolism
adipose tissue
|
• intradermal fat deposits are reduced at 16 and 32 weeks
• although adipose tissue differentiates properly in vivo, preadipocytes differentiate poorly in vitro
|
|
• preferential deposition of fat subcutaneously without reduction in the intra-abdominal/peridonadal fat pad on a normal and high fat diet
|
|
• after being fed a high fat diet (HFD), mice exhibit adipocyte hypertrophy
|
|
• while fewer long-chain triacylglycerols species and C32:n phosphatidylcholines are produced, there is an upregulation of a cluster of lipids containing short-chain triacylglycerols, long-chain phospholipids, lyso-phoslipids, diacylclycerols and ceramide-related compounds
• however, total lipid content is the same as in wild-type mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
N |
• despite insulin resistance, beta cell mass is similar to wild-type mice
|
|
• at 16 weeks, islet cells are decreased in number and size (30% smaller) and insulin content is 30-fold lower compared to Lepob homozygotes
• at 16 weeks, islets from females are grey, have irregular surfaces and require less time for collagenase digestion
• decrease in short chain triacylglyceride levels and increase in concentrations of reactive lipid species
• at 4 weeks of age no differences in pancreas morphology are seen
|
|
• alpha cells are scattered rather than forming a rim around the beta cells
|
|
• insulin secretion is impaired compared to Lepob homozygotes under basal and stimulated condition even when corrected for insulin content
|
behavior/neurological
|
• water consumption is significantly increased at 6 weeks of age compared to Lepob homozygotes
|
|
• at 6 weeks, night activity is increased compared to Lepob homozygotes
|
|
• at 20 weeks, mice are less active compared to wild-type mice or Ppargtm1Avb homozygotes
• however, activity levels are comparable to those seen in Lepob homozygotes
|
adipose tissue
|
• at 16 weeks, mice have fewer small adipocytes compared to Lepob homozygotes or wild-type mice
|
|
• at 20 weeks, mice have a 4% increase body fat composition compared to wild-type mice, which is less than the 40% increase in Lepob homozygotes
|
growth/size/body
N |
• over a 12 week period, mice maintain a normal weight unlike Lepob homozygotes
|
liver/biliary system
|
• increase in levels of reactive lipid species
|
|
• decrease in short and medium chain triacylglyceride levels
|
|
• increase in hepatic fat deposition compared to wild-type and Ppargtm1Avb homozygotes but not as severe as in Lepob homozygotes
|
muscle
|
• decrease in triacylglyceride levels and increase in reactive lipid species levels
|
renal/urinary system

|
• increased compared to Lepob homozygotes
