N normal phenotype
adipose tissue
• chow-fed mice show a significant reduction in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) weight, and this phenotype is exacerbated on a HFD
• interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) is distinctly paler than that in control mice, due to a virtual ablation of all cardiolipin species
• brown adipocytes exhibit distorted cellular and lipid droplet morphology in iBAT, as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction
• however, white adipose depots are not severely affected
• mtDNA content is markedly decreased in iBAT
• however, mtDNA levels in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) are normal
• chow-fed mice show a significant reduction in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight, and this phenotype is exacerbated on a HFD
• chow-fed mice show a significant reduction in iBAT weight
• following i.p. injection with the beta3 agonist CL-316,243 to specifically stimulate glucose uptake into thermogenic fat, mice exhibit significantly lower glucose uptake into iBAT than controls
• in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT), expression profile of genes linked to thermogenesis, adipogenesis, and mitochondrial respiration more closely resemble that of white fat than brown fat
• mice show a marked reduction in norepinephrine (NE)-induced uncoupled respiration and heat production relative to controls

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• chow-fed mice show no significant alterations in energy expenditure relative to control mice
• mice fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) gain significantly less weight and have more lean mass but less fat mass than HFD-fed controls
• mice show a significantly greater drop in core body temperature than controls in response to acute cold exposure (a 22 to 4 degrees Celsius challenge for 1.5 h), indicating reduced cold tolerance
• cold exposure fails to induce Ucp1 transcription in iBAT or subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT), unlike in control mice
• mice fed a HFD show increased fasting blood glucose levels
• mice show a marked reduction in norepinephrine (NE)-induced uncoupled respiration relative to controls
• mice housed in metabolic cages show a marked reduction in the daily respiratory quotient (RQ) biorhythm relative to controls, indicating decreased metabolic flexibility
• chow-fed mice show decreased insulin sensitivity relative to control mice
• mice fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) are completely refractory to insulin

cellular
• mtDNA content is markedly decreased in iBAT
• however, mtDNA levels in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) are normal
• following i.p. injection with the beta3 agonist CL-316,243 to specifically stimulate glucose uptake into thermogenic fat, mice exhibit significantly lower glucose uptake into iBAT than controls
• mitochondria isolated from iBAT show disrupted cristae structure
• mitochondria isolated from iBAT show reduced mitochondrial mass (as measured by citrate synthase activity)
• mitochondria isolated from iBAT show altered respiratory chain complex and super complex formation and reduced GDP-inhibitable (UCP1-linked) respiration

growth/size/body
N
• chow-fed mice show no significant alterations in body weight or composition relative to control mice
• mice fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) gain significantly less weight and have more lean mass but less fat mass than HFD-fed controls
• chow-fed mice show increased liver weight relative to control mice, and this phenotype is exacerbated on a HFD
• however, liver triglyceride levels are normal

liver/biliary system
• chow-fed mice show increased liver weight relative to control mice, and this phenotype is exacerbated on a HFD
• however, liver triglyceride levels are normal

integument
• chow-fed mice show a significant reduction in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) weight, and this phenotype is exacerbated on a HFD

behavior/neurological
N
• chow-fed mice show no significant alterations in food intake or physical activity relative to control mice
