physiological function | mice with a skin-specific deletion of SCD1 (SKO) have significantly increased energy expenditure, are protected from high fat diet-induced obesity, and display marked sebaceous gland hypoplasia and depletion of sebaceous lipids. SKO mice display severe cold intolerance because of rapid depletion of fuel substrates, including hepatic glycogen, to maintain core body temperature. Unlike mice globally deficient in SCD1, SKO mice have an intact hepatic lipogenic response to acute high carbohydrate feeding | Mus musculus |
