Adipocytokines and Lipid Levels in Ames Dwarf and Calorie-Restricted Mice

Abstract: Ames dwarf mice are long-lived and insulin sensitive, and have a normal or reduced percentage of body fat. Calorie restriction (CR) is known to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce body fat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of improved insulin sensitivity in the Ames dwarfs and the effects of CR on adipose signaling and metabolism in normal and dwarf mice. Enhanced insulin sensitivity in dwarf mice may be partly due to increased release of adiponectin and the reduced release of tumor n… Show more

“…Furthermore, adiponectin levels correlate with the delayed aging and enhanced insulin sensitivity. For example, an increase in adiponectin has been well established in long-lived mice such as Ames dwarf (Wang et al 2006), Snell dwarf (Brooks et al 2007), and GHR-KO (Berryman et al 2011) mice, and adiponectin is more abundant in plasma of human subjects without metabolic syndrome (Bik and Baranowska 2009;Coppack 2005). Here, we show that HFHS diet suppresses adiponectin levels in N mice, but PAPP-A KO mice are completely protected from this effect.…”

“…They exhibit deficiencies in growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone as well as a smaller body size with normal or reduced fat mass 13) . Ames dwarf mice also display enhanced insulin sensitivity, which is closely associated with high adiponectin levels in plasma 14) . In addition, mice with fat-specific disruption of the insulin receptor gene (FIRKO mice) are reported to have decreased adiposity, lower fasting insulin levels, and an extended lifespan 5) .…”
