- fat content increased
Animals exhibit a greater amount of fat or lipids than observed in control animals.
- fat content variant
Animals exhibit variations in the amount of fat or lipids present in the organism compared to control animals.
- fat associated body size decreased
Animals exhibit a decrease in the size of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this can be assayed by BODIPY 493/503 staining.
- fat associated body size increased
Animals exhibit an increase in the size of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this can be assayed by BODIPY 493/503 staining.
- fat associated bodies increased
Animals exhibit an increase in the number of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this number can be assayed by increases in the number of BODIPY 493/503 staining.
- food absorption rate variant
Animals exhibit variations in the rate at which food is absorbed by the intestine, as determined by a time-course recording of fat staining (by C1-BODIPY-C12, for example) normalized to controls
- fat associated bodies reduced
Animals exhibit a decrease in the number of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this number can be assayed by decreases in the number of Nile Red or BODIPY 493/503 staining bodies.
