Abstract excerpt
Mutation Agouti yellow (Ay) in mice Ay/a results in overproduction of agouti protein (AP), adult onset of obesity, increased corticosterone responses to restrain stress as compared with a/a mice (absence of AP). The enhanced corticosterone response in restrained Ay/a-mice compared with restrained a/a-mice occurred in result of increased adrenal reactivity to ACTH. The purpose of this work was to investigate the...
