As expected from the macroscopic examination determination of body weight, liver weight, and weight of visceral fat indicated that alb-SREBP-1a animals had significantly increased values of serum parameters including dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, whereas the alb-SREBP-1aΔP mice were more comparable to wildtype C57Bl6 (Table 2). The gene discussed is SREBF1; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
