behavior/neurological
• fewer bouts of torpor under fasting conditions
|
• under fasting conditions
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• no abnormalities in body weight, food intake, water intake, fat mass, energy expenditure, RER, movement, triglyceride levels, cholesterol levels, plasma free fatty acid levels or plasma glycerol levels
|
• famsin (Gm11437) induced changes seen in wild-type controls are abolished
|
• after overnight fasting
• however, blood glucose levels are similar to controls under ad lib feeding
|
• decreased plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate levels aster overnight fast
|
• impaired starvation resistance as measured by body temperature dropping below 28oC followed by a quick decrease to below the environmental temperature
|
• attenuated gluconeogenic capacity
|
• decreased expression of genes involved in metabolic adaptations to fasting
|
liver/biliary system
• decreased liver acetyl-CoA levels after overnight fasting
|
nervous system
• treatment with Gm11437 (famsin) fails to increase cAMP levels in the olfactory bulb unlike in wild-type controls
