growth/size/body

obese ( J:284780 )

• mice develop obesity under normal chow diet (NCD) or after feeding with an HFD (60kcal% fat) for 8 weeks

• however, food intake is normal under both NCD and HFD conditions

increased susceptibility to age related obesity ( J:284780 )

• mice exhibit higher body weight gain than wild-type controls under normal chow diet (NCD) conditions, esp. as they age

increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity ( J:284780 )

• mice exhibit faster gain body weight than wild-type controls under a 60% high-fat diet (HFD)

• difference in body weight is mainly due to increased fat accumulation rather than lean body weight changes

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased fatty acid oxidation ( J:284780 )

• expression of genes related to mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is significantly reduced in BAT

• NCD-fed mice show a significantly lower fatty acid oxidation rate than wild-type controls in BAT and skeletal muscle homogenates

impaired adaptive thermogenesis ( J:284780 )

• during long-term cold challenge, core body temperatures remain significantly lower than those in wild-type controls, esp. during the first 4 h of cold exposure

decreased circulating adrenaline level ( J:284780 )

• plasma adrenaline levels are significantly lower than in wild-type controls under NCD, HFD, or cold challenge (NCD plus 2 h cold exposure) conditions

decreased circulating free fatty acids level ( J:284780 )

• mice fed either NCD or HFD for 8 weeks exhibit significantly lower plasma free fatty acid levels than wild-type controls fed the same diet

decreased core body temperature ( J:284780 )

• mice have significantly lower core body temperatures than wild-type controls both before and after cold challenge at 4 degrees Celsius for 2 h

increased adrenaline level ( J:284780 )

• mice fed with HFD for 8 weeks or fed with NCD plus cold challenge for 2 h have significantly higher adrenaline levels in total lysates of adrenal glands than wild-type controls, likely due to reduced adrenaline release from the adrenal gland medulla

• however, protein expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in adrenal glands is normal, suggesting that the adrenaline synthesis pathway is unaffected

increased noradrenaline level ( J:284780 )

• after long-term (20 h) cold exposure, NCD-fed mice show significantly higher norepinephrine levels in iWAT than wild-type controls

increased lipogenesis ( J:284780 )

• mice fed NCD show increased expression of the lipogenic genes Fasn (fatty acid synthase) and Pparg (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) in white adipose tissue, suggesting activation of the lipogenesis pathway
