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

N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• mice on a normal chow diet weigh 10% less than littermate controls from weaning until 20 weeks of age
• differences are more pronounced when mice are kept on a high fat diet with mice weighing 15-20% less until the age of 20 weeks

homeostasis/metabolism
• there is a significant decrease in plasma epinephrine levels in mice fed a normal diet but not in mice fed a high-fat diet
• there is a significant decrease in plasma norepinephrine levels in mice fed a normal diet but not in mice fed a high-fat diet
• 9 week old mice consume 15-20% more oxygen during both day and night phases
• 13 week old mice consume more than 30% oxygen during the light phase and more than 40% oxygen during the night phase
• a 16 hour fasts leads to significantly lower blood glucose levels in mice fed a high fat diet compared to controls
• mice on a high fat diet have slightly less circulating insulin levels
• mice on a high fat diet are significantly more glucose tolerant compared to controls

adipose tissue
• mice of either sex on a normal chow diet displayed a 30% reduction in epigonodal fat-pad weight at 20 weeks of age
• mice on a high fat diet displayed a 40-60 % weight reduction in the epigonodal fat pads at 20 weeks of age

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit a slight postpubertal hyperphagia
• at 9 weeks of age, mice exhibit a dramatic increase in basal locomotor activity with a 40% increase during the light phase and 60% during the dark phase compared to control mice
• mice exhibit the highest locomotor activity at the beginning of the dark cycle where they were more than twice as active as their littermate controls
• there are also greater increases in fasting-induced hyperactivity than in control mice
