♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

growth/size/body

decreased lean body mass ( J:178147 )

• at 8 weeks of age on a standard chow diet

increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity ( J:178147 )

• accumulation of fat mass is more pronounced in females fed a high fat diet compared to diet matched controls

adipose tissue

increased total body fat amount ( J:178147 )

• increase in fat mass at 8 weeks of age on a standard chow diet

• accumulation of fat mass is more pronounced in females fed a high fat diet compared to diet matched controls

homeostasis/metabolism

increased circulating insulin level ( J:178147 )

increased circulating leptin level ( J:178147 )

decreased circulating triglyceride level ( J:178147 )

• lower levels of total triglycerides

abnormal energy homeostasis ( J:178147 )

• under a restricted feeding protocol more food is required to protect mice from weight loss exceeding 15% of initial body weight

decreased energy expenditure ( J:178147 )

• subtle lower energy expenditure during the mid dark period

• decrease in energy expenditure per kg of body weight

• non-resting energy expenditure is reduced but resting energy expenditure is normal

increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity ( J:178147 )

• accumulation of fat mass is more pronounced in females fed a high fat diet compared to diet matched controls

decreased respiratory quotient ( J:178147 )

• the respiratory exchange ratio is reduced

behavior/neurological

abnormal locomotor activation ( J:178147 )

• food anticipatory activity is attenuated

decreased locomotor activity ( J:178147 )

• during the dark period

immune system

increased inflammatory response ( J:178147 )

• significant increases the serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (Mcp1) and resistin indicating a mild state of inflammation

abnormal circulating leptin level ( J:178147 )

• hyperleptinemia is partially attenuated compared to homozygous mice not expressing the cre transgene

decreased circulating triglyceride level ( J:178147 )

• lower levels of total triglycerides

abnormal energy homeostasis ( J:178147 )

• under a restricted feeding protocol more food is required to protect mice from weight loss exceeding 15% of initial body weight

behavior/neurological

abnormal locomotor activation ( J:178147 )
