Abstract excerpt
Weight regulation through body-fat content and energy homeostasis, is regulated mainly through the actions of leptin. Herein, we analyse the effect of mutations in the mouse leptin receptor using the PC12 pheochromocytoma cell line as a model system. Both the induction of pancreatitis associated protein 1 and metallothionein-II, two leptin regulated genes in PC12, was evaluated. Tyr to Phe mutations in the...
