Effects of high-fat feeding in Pomc-/-, Pomc+/-, and wild-type mice. (A) On a high-fat diet, Pomc-/- mice are significantly heavier at 8 weeks (*, P < 0.05) and attain a greater adult body weight compared with wild-type mice (wild-type, n = 10, Pomc+/-, n = 10; Pomc-/-, n = 4). ***, P < 0.001. Pomc+/- mice also develop obesity on a high-fat diet compared with wild-type mice by 20 weeks (*, P < 0.05). (B) Food intake of individually housed 2-month-old male mice maintained on a high-fat diet (n = 4 for each group). Pomc-/- and Pomc+/- vs. wild-type mice, *, P < 0.05.
