cardiovascular system
• mice fed a chow diet develop cardiac hypertrophy at 24 weeks of age
• feeding a high-fat diet does not worsen cardiac function
• 50% of mice exhibit bradycardia
• mice under anesthetized conditions have a shortened RR intervals
• occasional premature ventricular contraction
• mice under anesthetized conditions have a shortened PR interval
• mice under anesthetized conditions have a shorter PQ interval, a feature of pre-excitation
• however, the QRS complex appears normal

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
• mice gain less weight than wild-type mice when fed a high-fat diet, with fat mass 44% lower at 20 weeks of age
• however, mice exhibit normal body weight and body weight gain on a chow diet

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice gain less weight than wild-type mice when fed a high-fat diet, with fat mass 44% lower at 20 weeks of age
• however, mice exhibit normal body weight and body weight gain on a chow 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
• glycogen content in skeletal muscle is increased on high-fat diet and shows a trend toward increase on chow diet
• however, cardiac glycogen levels are unchanged in mice fed with either chow or high-fat diet
• mice fed a high-fat diet show improved insulin tolerance
• however, mice show normal insulin tolerance on a chow diet

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

muscle
• glycogen content in skeletal muscle is increased on high-fat diet and shows a trend toward increase on chow diet
• however, cardiac glycogen levels are unchanged in mice fed with either chow or high-fat diet
