Figure 5. Accelerated loss of bodyweight in fasting MCH−/− mice.

Figure 5

(A) During a 24 h period in the open field with ad libitum access to chow, MCH−/− and wild-type mice consumed similar amounts of food (g/24 h/g bodyweight + SEM) (B) During a subsequent 24 h period in the open field without access to food, MCH−/− mice lost more weight (cf. Figure 2) (C) MCH−/− mice exhibited reduced adiposity as determined NMR body mass analysis under baseline conditions. A significant difference between wild-type and MCH−/− mice is indicated by an asterisk.
