To constitute a valuable resource to identify individual genes involved in the development of obesity, a novel mouse model, the Berlin Fat Mouse Inbred line 860 (BFMI860), was established. In order to characterize energy intake and energy expenditure in obese BFMI860 mice, we performed two independent sets of experiments in male BFMI860 and B6 control mice (10 per line). In experiment 1, we analyzed body fat content noninvasively by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and measured resting metabolic rate at thermoneutrality (RMRt) and respiratory quotient (RQ) in week 6, 10, and 18. In a second experiment, energy digested (energy intake minus fecal energy loss) was determined by bomb calorimetry from week 6 through week 12. BFMI860 mice were heavier and had higher fat mass (final body fat content was 24.7% compared with 14.6% in B6). They also showed fatty liver syndrome. High body fat accumulation in BFMI860 mice was restricted to weeks 6-10 and was accompanied by hyperphagia, higher energy digestion, higher RQs, and abnormally high blood triglyceride levels. Lean mass-adjusted RMRt was not altered between lines. These results indicate that in BFMI860 mice, the excessive accumulation of body fat is associated with altered lipid metabolism, high energy intake, and energy digestion. Assuming that BFMI860 mice and their obese phenotypes are of polygenic nature, this line is an excellent model for the study of obesity in humans, especially for juvenile obesity and hyperlipidemia.
