adipose tissue
• brown adipose tissue is smaller
• subcutaneous white adipose tissues are smaller
• fat mass is decreased, showing on average 2/3 less fat mass than wild-type mice
• epididymal, subcutaneous, and perirenal white adipose tissues are smaller
• preadipocytes show impaired differentiation into adipocytes in culture
• adipocyte number is reduced by about half in epididymal fat pads
• mean diameter is increased in adipocytes of epididymal fat pads and there is a depletion of the small adipocyte subpopulation
• increase in proportion of larger adipocytes in subcutaneous adipose tissue
• epididymal adipose tissues are smaller
• insulin-induced glucose uptake is increased in isolated adipocytes from epididymal tissue

cardiovascular system
• thinning of the intraventricular septum
• increase in heart/body ratio in 30 week old mice
• mice develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that evolves to dilated cardiomyopathy
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
• thinning of the left ventricular posterior wall
• increase in left ventricular internal diameter
• hearts exhibit cardiac dysfunction as indicated by reduced stroke volume and proportional decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction
• decrease in pulse height and heart rate

craniofacial
• increase in skull width-to-length ratio

growth/size/body
• increase in heart/body ratio in 30 week old mice
• mice develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that evolves to dilated cardiomyopathy
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
• lean mass proportion is increased
• mice are resistant to high-fat diet induced obesity, gaining less weight, showing a reduction in fat mass, smaller adipose tissue deposits, lower amount of small adipocytes and more big adipocytes, lower plasma leptin levels, lower glycaemia, reduced insulin levels, a decrease in insulin resistance, improved insulin tolerance, lower cholesterol in plasma, reduction in lipid deposits in the liver and muscle, and lower hepatic triglyceride levels
• slight growth and weight retardation
• mice gain less weight than wild-type littermates (16% less at 26 weeks of age) despite similar food intake
• chronic treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901, but not rapamycin, results in weight and adiposity gain

hematopoietic system

immune system

muscle
• 15 week old mice show enlargement of the left ventricle, showing early stage of hypertrophy
• hearts exhibit cardiac dysfunction as indicated by reduced stroke volume and proportional decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction
• in the gastrocnemius muscle

skeleton
• increase in skull width-to-length ratio

vision/eye
• increase in interorbital distance

cellular
• preadipocytes show impaired differentiation into adipocytes in culture
• insulin-induced glucose uptake is increased in isolated adipocytes from epididymal tissue

homeostasis/metabolism
• on both a normal diet and high-fat diet
• on both a normal diet and high-fat diet
• leptinemia is more than 4-fold reduced
• mice exhibit enhanced energy expenditure at the whole body level, both under normal diet and high-fat diet
• however, food intake is normal, feces contain similar amounts of energy as wild-type feces, indicating normal intestinal absorption, body temperature is normal, and mice show normal locomotor activity and respiratory quotient
• mice are resistant to high-fat diet induced obesity, gaining less weight, showing a reduction in fat mass, smaller adipose tissue deposits, lower amount of small adipocytes and more big adipocytes, lower plasma leptin levels, lower glycaemia, reduced insulin levels, a decrease in insulin resistance, improved insulin tolerance, lower cholesterol in plasma, reduction in lipid deposits in the liver and muscle, and lower hepatic triglyceride levels
• mice exhibit improved glucose tolerance in the oral glucose tolerance test
• mice exhibit improved insulin tolerance
• the dose of insulin necessary to induce glucose transport and to reach a plateau are lower in adipocytes, suggesting increased insulin sensitivity
• lipid deposits in liver and muscle are decreased
• basal glycerol release is increased in epididymal fat pad adipocytes, indicating enhanced lipolysis
• in the gastrocnemius muscle
• basal glycerol release is increased in epididymal fat pad adipocytes, indicating enhanced lipolysis
• mice exhibit improved carbohydrate metabolism

integument
• subcutaneous white adipose tissues are smaller

liver/biliary system
