A mouse model of insulin resistance and its associated dyslipidemia was generated by
crossing mice expressing human apolipoprotein B (apoB) with mice lacking only brown
adipose tissue (BATless). On a high fat diet, male apoB/BATless mice became obese,
hypercholesterolemic, hypertriglyceridemic, and hyperinsulinemic compared with control
apoB mice. Fast performance liquid chromatography revealed increased triglyceride
concentrations in intermediate density lipoprotein/low density lipoprotein (LDL) and reduced …
