||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary |
4 genotypes
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• mice show slightly decreased body weight relative to controls
|
|
• mice show slightly decreased adiposity relative to controls
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• all lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) Nts +ve neurons treated with leptin become hyperpolarized; in controls, about 20% of wild-type LHA Nts +ve neurons treated with leptin while about 60% depolarize upon leptin treatment
• this indicates that deletion of Lepr from Lepr, Nts +ve neurons abrogates the direct depolarization response
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• males have decreased lean mass as a proportion of body mass compared to controls at 12-15 weeks
|
|
• at 12-15 weeks, mice show increased body weight relative to controls
|
|
• mice show higher adiposity at 12-15 weeks
|
|
• gonadal fat pad white adipose tissue (WAT) weight is increased relative to controls at 12-15 weeks
|
|
• mice have increased % fat mass/total body mass compared to controls at 12-15 weeks
|
|
• in response to injection of amphetamine (AMPH), locomotor activity rapidly increases in controls, but effect is blunted in Lepr mutants
|
|
• mice exhibit decreased ambulatory activity across the light-dark cycle compared to controls
|
|
• fasting does not increase activity of orexin neurons (measured by c-fos expression) in mutants in contrast to induction of robust activity in control animals
• treatment with leptin for 24 hours increases orexin expression by neurons in controls but not in mutants
|
|
• amphetamine-evoked dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, NAc, is reduced (reduced amplitude of dopamine peak and increased dopamine biological half-life measured by amperometry) suggesting dopamine transporter activity is decreased in the NAc, contributing to reduceAMPH-induced activity
|
|
• higher at 12-15 weeks
|
|
• mice show decreased VO2 compared normalized to body weight compared to controls
|
|
• treatment with leptin for 24 hours reduces weight of control animals, but action of leptin is blunted in mutants
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
| N |
• 62% of brain slice lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) Nts +ve neurons depolarize when treated with leptin while about 20% of Nts +ve neurons respond with slow hyperpolarization
