homeostasis/metabolism
• fasting glycemia is increased on a standard chow diet
• mice develop diabetes mellitus based on fasting hyperglycemia and lack of compensatory increase in insulin secretion when fed a high-fat/sucrose/cholesterol (HFSC) diet for 6 months

cardiovascular system

• HFSC-fed mice exhibit aortic valve calcification
• aortic valve area is decreased in HFSC-fed mice
• total ventricular weight corrected for body weight is elevated in mice fed the HFSC diet

• echocardiography shows impaired left ventricular function in mice fed a chow diet with worsening cardiac dysfunction on the HFSC diet
• the mitral E/E ratio (mitral inflow measured by pulsed-wave over tissue Doppler) is increased in mice on the HFSC diet
• isovolumic relaxation time, corrected for heart rate, is decreased in mice on the HFSC diet
• cardiac output is increased in mice fed the HFSC diet
• stroke volume is increased in mice fed the HFSC diet
• reduction in systolic fractional shortening in mice fed the HFSC diet
• some areas of the aortic surface leaflet from HFSC-fed mice are denuded of endothelial cells and show presence of inflammatory cell aggregates, platelets, and fibrin covering the extracellular matrix

N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
• elevated relative to mice lacking the transgene at 6 months regardless of diet
• difference from controls lacking the transgene persists on a high fat diet but not on a normal diet at 15 months
• plasma insulin levels are 2X control levels at 6 months in fed mice and fasted mice on a high fat diet
• fasted mice on a normal diet do not show elevated insulin
• reduced insulin sensitivity over the course of an insulin tolerance test
• sustained elevation of blood glucose during a glucose tolerance test regardless of diet
• blood insulin is unchanged over the course of a glucose tolerance test

cardiovascular system
• lesion thickness increases more on a high fat diet than does lesion area
• increased calcification of lesions after 15 months on a high fat diet, particularly for females
