Metabolic phenotyping in 24 M Mrpl54+/− and wild type mice. (a) Body composition (g) by EchoMRI in 24 M male Mrpl54+/− (n = 12) and WT (n = 10) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 11) and WT (n = 13). (b) Mean VO2 (L/h) by CLAMS and body mass ANCOVA analysis (insets) in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 9) and female Mrpl54+/− and WT. (c) Mean RER by CLAMS in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 9) and female Mrpl54+/− and WT. (d) Mean ambulatory motion (beam break counts) in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 9) and WT (n = 9) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 13). (e) Mean duration (min) on an endurance treadmill for 24 M old mice male Mrpl54+/− (n = 6) and WT (n = 7) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 7) and WT (n = 9). (f) Mean blood glucose level (mmol/L) over time in response to an oral glucose challenge (OGTT) in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 8) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 12). (g) Mean blood glucose level (mmol/L) and AUC (insets) over time in response to intraperitoneal insulin challenge (ipITT) in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 8) and WT (n = 8) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 10) and WT (n = 11). (h) Mean rectal temperature (°C) in response to a 4-h 4 °C cold challenge in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 4) and WT (n = 3) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 4) and WT (n = 7). (i) Mean heart rate (beats/min) and blood pressure (mmHg) in 24 M old male Mrpl54+/− (n = 6) and WT (n = 5) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 5) and WT (n = 8). (j) Relative organ weights (% body mass) in 24 M necropsied male Mrpl54+/− (n = 4–5) and WT (n = 3–4) and female Mrpl54+/− (n = 3) and WT (n = 6–7). Graphs show mean ± SEM; male WT (blue); male Mrpl54+/− (light blue); female WT (orange); and female Mrpl54+/− (light orange).
