Increased independent ingestion in Anorexia (anx) mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

Anorexia mutant mice (anx/anx) stop gaining weight by postnatal day 14 and die from starvation within 3-4 weeks. Their defect is not conclusively identified: a point mutation in Tyro3 is present and modulates the phenotype. The behavioral or physiological mechanisms causing starvation are unknown. To determine if anx causes decreased independent ingestion, pups were given short-term access to half-and-half on...
