nervous system
N
• deletion of Lepr in Slc17a6 neurons does not alter IPSC amplitude in Agrp neurons; IPSC frequency is decreased (not significantly) in Agrp
• excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs and mEPSCs) in Pomc1 neurons are not affected by Lepr deletion in Slc17a6 (glutamatergic) neurons

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• fed and fasted blood glucose levels are unchanged and serum insulin levels are only slightly increased in the fed state

adipose tissue
N
• no increase in fat mass is observed at 10 weeks
