Figure 1.

Expression of seven genes, using semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis, in jejunum tissues from wildtype and W/W^V mutant mice maintained under fed and fasted conditions. F and S indicate samples of fed and starved mice respectively. GAPDH levels were measured as a control. Five genes showed a decrease in expression in both fed and fasted W/W^V mice. These transcripts included: the gene for ARG2, ONZIN, DDWMEST62, -84, and -100. Two transcripts, DDWMEST1 and -91 were increased in both fed and fasted W/W^V mice.
