Genetic Determinants of Energy Expenditure and Insulin Resistance in Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice
Abstract
Diet-induced obesity is the primary determinant of the current epidemic of diabetes. We have explored the role of genetics in this phenomenon, using C57Bl/6 (B6), 129S6/SvEvTac (129), and intercross (B6 × 129)F2 mice on a low- or high-fat diet. Over an 18-week period, B6 and F2 mice gained more weight, had higher levels of insulin and leptin, and showed greater glucose intolerance than 129 mice, despite lower food intake. By contrast, metabolic rate and diet-induced thermogenesis were significantly higher in the 129 mice. Genome-wide scans identified several quantitative trait loci, including a quantitative trait locus that was linked with hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance on chromosome 14 in a region similar to that seen in mice with genetically induced insulin resistance. Microarray analysis indicated significant changes in expression levels between B6 and 129 mice in the identified chromosomal area of Wnt5a and protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ). Thus, caloric efficiency, i.e., the “thrifty gene,” is a dominant-acting genetic determinant of diet-induced obesity in mice and can be linked to a locus on chromosome 14, including genes linked to adipose development and insulin sensitivity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
