Abstract excerpt
We report the production and metabolic phenotype of a mouse line in which the Fmo5 gene is disrupted. In comparison with wild-type (WT) mice, Fmo5(-/-) mice exhibit a lean phenotype, which is age-related, becoming apparent after 20 weeks of age. Despite greater food intake, Fmo5(-/-) mice weigh less, store less fat in white adipose tissue (WAT), have lower plasma glucose and cholesterol concentrations and...
