growth/size/body
|
• mice show increased fat mass without changes in lean mass
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• mice exposed to acute cold at 4 degrees Celsius are less cold-intolerant compared to controls after 5 hours of cold exposure
|
|
• mice exhibit lower oxygen consumption rate at all temperatures at night and even greater oxygen consumption rate reduction at 4 degrees Celsius
• however, food intake and locomotor activity are unchanged
|
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit higher blood glucose levels during glucose tolerance test than wild-type mice
|
|
• mice fed a high-fat diet exhibit impaired insulin sensitivity
|
adipose tissue
|
• mice show increased fat mass without changes in lean mass
|
|
• brown adipose tissue shows lower oxygen consumption rate, indicating that brown adipose tissue contributes to changes in whole-body energy expenditure
|
|
• brown adipose tissue shows lower temperature than in controls upon 6 hours of cold exposure indicating impaired thermogenic capacity
