homeostasis/metabolism
• when fed a high fat diet, mice gain more weight than wild-type mice
• mice exhibit reduced resting metabolic rate compared to wild-type mice
• however, daily energy expenditure is normal

growth/size/body
• at 11 weeks of age, mice weight 15% more than wild-type mice
• when fed a high fat diet, mice gain more weight than wild-type mice

nervous system
N
• proopiomelanocortin neurons morphology and basal function are normal
• proopiomelanocortin neurons do not respond electrophysically to glucose as do wild-type cells
• however, the electrophysical responses of proopiomelanocortin neuron to leptin and insulin are normal

adipose tissue
• mice exhibit increased adipocity and total body fat compared to wild-type mice

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit increased compensatory feeding compared to wild-type mice after being fasted overnight

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit an increase in circulating leptin levels in a fasting mouse but leptin levels do not rise when fed unlike wild-type mice
• in a fasting mouse but not in a fed mouse
• in a fasting mouse but not in a fed mouse
• endogenous glucose production is higher than in wild-type mice
• mice fail to exhibit an increase in hepatic glucose production when treated with leptin or adiponectin unlike wild-type mice
• however, mice remain sensitive to the inhibitory effects of hyperinsulinemia on gluconeogenesis and exhibit normal insulin sensitive whole body glucose turnover
• in a fasting mouse but not in a fed mouse
• in a fasting mouse but not in a fed mouse

N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• at 3 months of age, mice display a mild decrease in body weight compared to wild-type mice

nervous system
• agouti-related protein expressing neurons are slightly more hyperpolarized than in wild-type mice and do not respond electrophysically to glucose as do wild-type cells

behavior/neurological
• following treatment with melanotan II, mice exhibit less food intake than similarly treated wild-type

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• despite reduction in weight, mice exhibit normal food intake, resting metabolic rate, daily energy expenditure, response to a high fat diet, leptin, glucose and adiponectin levels, and glucose and insulin tolerance
