mortality/aging
N
• mice are born in normal Mendelian ratios and remain viable as adults, unlike Pon3tm1Tigm homozygotes
• when fed a cholate-cholesterol (CC) diet for 16 weeks, only 65% of CC-fed mice survive versus 96% of wild-type controls likely due to cholestasis caused by increased gallstone formation

growth/size/body
• when fed a Western diet for 10 weeks, mice show a 37% increase in body weight
• however, daily food consumption is normal
• mice show increased obesity following a Western diet for 10 weeks

cardiovascular system
• when fed a cholate-cholesterol (CC) diet for 16 weeks, mice show a 60% increase in mean atherosclerotic lesion size at the aortic root region relative to wild-type controls; only 65% of CC-fed mice survive versus 96% of CC-fed wild-type controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks, mice show decreased oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in gonadal and subcutaneous fat pads in response to palmitate treatment
• mice show increased obesity following a Western diet for 10 weeks
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a dramatic increase in plasma direct bilirubin levels, consistent with increased hepatoxicity
• in the presence of succinate and rotenone, liver mitochondria from chow-fed mice show a significantly lower OCR in response to ADP (state 3) and FCCP (state 3u), indicating reduced mitochondrial respiration
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks, mice show decreased OCR in gonadal and subcutaneous fat pads in response to FCCP (uncoupler) or palmitate treatment
• OCR of differentiated white adipocytes derived from mice fed a Western diet is substantially decreased in response to FCCP, but not in response to oligomycin or rotenone/myxotiazol treatment
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show altered hepatic expression of several genes involved in bile acid metabolism indicating decreased hepatic bile acid synthesis
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks (to avoid mortality), mice show increased phosphatidate levels in the liver
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks (to avoid mortality), mice show a significant decrease in plasma HDL cholesterol levels
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show significant increases in plasma total cholesterol (320%), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)/intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL)/LDL cholesterol (466%), and unesterified cholesterol (896%) levels
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks (to avoid mortality), mice show significant increases in plasma total and VLDL/IDL/LDL cholesterol levels
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show increased plasma IDL/LDL levels
• on a chow diet, mice show a small but significant decrease in plasma free fatty acid levels
• on a chow diet, mice show a small but significant decrease in plasma triglyceride levels
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a 267% increase in plasma triglyceride levels
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show significantly decreased levels of endogenously synthesized bile acids, muricholic acid (MCA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the small intestine
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a 273% increase in plasma bile acid levels; when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks (to avoid mortality), mice show significantly increased plasma total bile acid levels
• when fed a Western diet, mice show significantly elevated plasma total bile acid levels
• however, no differences in plasma total bile acids are noted on a chow diet
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show significant increases in liver total cholesterol (40%), cholesterol ester (44%), and unesterified cholesterol (22%) levels
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a 56% decrease in liver triglyceride levels
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show reduced expression of lipogenic genes and decreased triglyceride and diacylglycerol levels in the liver
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show increased lipin 2 (LPIN2) protein levels in the liver
• however, liver phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) activity is normal
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a dramatic increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase levels, consistent with increased hepatoxicity
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a dramatic increase in plasma aspartate aminotransferase levels, consistent with increased hepatoxicity

liver/biliary system
• following a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show a 66% increase in TUNEL+ cells in the liver
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show significant increases in liver total cholesterol (40%), cholesterol ester (44%), and unesterified cholesterol (22%) levels
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show a 56% decrease in liver triglyceride levels
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show reduced expression of lipogenic genes and decreased triglyceride and diacylglycerol levels in the liver
• when fed a CC diet for 16 weeks, mice show increased hepatic expression of inflammatory genes
• however, no evidence of liver pathology is observed on a chow diet
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show increased gallstone formation with a 58% increase in gallstone weight
• gallstone formation is likely due to decreased bile acid secretion and increased cholesterol excretion into bile
• when fed a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show increased cholesterol and phospholipid levels in the gallbladder bile and a 39% increase in cholesterol levels in hepatic bile samples
• following a CC diet for 16 weeks, all bile acid species are significantly increased in plasma; in the liver, total bile acid content is normal whereas levels of several unconjugated bile acids are significantly decreased; bile samples show a significant decrease in deoxycholic acid levels and a trend towards decreased levels of other bile acids
• following a CC diet for 16 weeks, critically ill mice exhibit jaundice

adipose tissue
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks, subcutaneous fat pad weight is significantly increased
• stromal vascular cells isolated from the subcutaneous fat pads of mice fed a Western diet and differentiated in vitro exhibit a white adipocyte phenotype with large lipid droplet-filled cells
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks, average size of adipocytes of the gonadal fat pad is increased by 25%
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks
• following a Western diet for 10 weeks

cellular
• following a CC diet for 10 weeks, mice show a 66% increase in TUNEL+ cells in the liver
• in the presence of succinate and rotenone, liver mitochondria from chow-fed mice show a significantly lower OCR in response to ADP (state 3) and FCCP (state 3u), indicating reduced complex II-IV-dependent mitochondrial respiration
