N normal phenotype
adipose tissue
• low beige content in inguinal white adipose tissue
• larger size distribution
• fed and fasted, cold-exposed mice impaired fat mobilization compared with control mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• reduced core body temperature following cold-exposure under full spectrum lighting
• however, mice raised without 480 nm light exhibit normal cold exposure response and tail temperatures are normal
• unlike wild-type mice, fasted mice exhibit reduced elevation of serum glycerol compared with fed mice
• following cold-exposure
