behavior/neurological
• food intake is decreased on both chow and high-fat diet

cardiovascular system
• cardiac glycogen levels are increased by 5.6- and 46.9-fold in chow fed and high-fat diet fed mice, respectively
• mice fed a chow diet develop cardiac hypertrophy at 24 weeks of age
• feeding a high-fat diet does not worsen cardiac function
• 70% of mice exhibit bradycardia
• mice under anesthetized conditions have shortened RR intervals
• occasional premature ventricular contraction
• mice under anesthetized conditions have shortened PR interval
• mice under anesthetized conditions have a shorter PQ interval, a feature of pre-excitation
• however, the QRS complex appears normal

cellular
• kidneys of high-fat diet fed mice exhibit increased apoptosis

growth/size/body
• mice fed a chow diet develop cardiac hypertrophy at 24 weeks of age
• feeding a high-fat diet does not worsen cardiac function
• kidneys of chow fed mice show moderate to severe cyst dilatation of distal and collector tubules in the medullar rays at 26 weeks of age
• mice fed a high-fat diet show severe cystic changes in the collecting ducts
• mice gain less weight than wild-type mice when fed a high-fat diet, with fat mass 32.5% lower at 20 weeks of age
• however, mice exhibit normal body weight and body weight gain on a chow diet

homeostasis/metabolism
• cardiac glycogen levels are increased by 5.6- and 46.9-fold in chow fed and high-fat diet fed mice, respectively
• mice gain less weight than wild-type mice when fed a high-fat diet, with fat mass 32.5% lower at 20 weeks of age
• however, mice exhibit normal body weight and body weight gain on a chow diet
• plasma ketone levels are increased in mice on the high-fat diet
• plasma cholesterol levels are lower in mice on a high-fat diet under fed conditions
• plasma free fatty acid levels are lower in mice on a high-fat diet under fed conditions
• plasma levels of triglycerides are lower in mice on a high-fat diet under fed conditions
• mice fed a high-fat diet show improved glucose tolerance
• however, mice show normal glucose tolerance on a chow diet
• kidney glycogen content is increased by 4.3- and 6.8-fold in mice fed a chow diet and high-fat diet, respectively
• glycogen content in skeletal muscle is increased by 4- and 1.9-fold in mice fed chow diet and high-fat diet, respectively
• mice fed a high-fat diet show improved insulin tolerance
• however, mice show normal insulin tolerance on a chow diet
• occasional kidney proteinosis is seen in kidneys of chow-fed mice
• high-fat diet fed mice show 2-fold higher levels of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio
• chow diet fed mice show an 87% increase in urinary albumin/creatinine ratio
• protein casts in kidney tubules are prominent in mice fed either the chow diet or high-fat diet, indicating proteinurea

immune system
• many foci of necrosis, lymphocyte infiltration, and regeneration are seen in the tubulointerstitial compartment of high-fat diet fed mice, indicating severe kidney inflammation

liver/biliary system
• mice are protected from developing liver steatosis after high-fat diet feeding

muscle
• cardiac glycogen levels are increased by 5.6- and 46.9-fold in chow fed and high-fat diet fed mice, respectively
• glycogen content in skeletal muscle is increased by 4- and 1.9-fold in mice fed chow diet and high-fat diet, respectively

renal/urinary system
• kidneys of high-fat diet fed mice exhibit increased apoptosis
• high-fat diet fed mice show 2-fold higher levels of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio
• chow diet fed mice show an 87% increase in urinary albumin/creatinine ratio
• protein casts in kidney tubules are prominent in mice fed either the chow diet or high-fat diet, indicating proteinurea
• many foci of necrosis, lymphocyte infiltration, and regeneration are seen in the tubulointerstitial compartment of high-fat diet fed mice, indicating severe kidney inflammation
• mice fed a high-fat diet develop severe kidney injury, showing gross discoloration of the kidney, tubular degeneration, as indicated by papilla dilatation and severe cystic changes (with proteinosis) in the collecting ducts
• foci of amyloid deposits and areas of collagen fibers are seen in kidneys of high-fat diet fed mice
• however, no difference in kidney lipid content is seen in mice fed either the chow or high-fat diet
• kidneys of chow fed mice show moderate to severe cyst dilatation of distal and collector tubules in the medullar rays at 26 weeks of age
• mice fed a high-fat diet show severe cystic changes in the collecting ducts
• kidney glycogen content is increased by 4.3- and 6.8-fold in mice fed a chow diet and high-fat diet, respectively
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit papilla dilatation
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit tubular degeneration
• high-fat diet fed mice show 8.5-fold and 27.2-fold increase in levels of renal tubular injury biomarkers, KIM-1 and NGAL, respectively
• chow diet fed mice show a 57% increase in levels of renal tubular injury biomarkers, KIM-1 and NGAL
