Table 1:

Sterility of lipodystrophic and ob mice is rescued by mouse embryonic fibroblast injection. The denominator in the resulting pregnancies represents the number of genetically modified mice (i.e. LD or ob) as all crosses were performed with one male and two females in a cage.

Male Female Resulting pregnancies
LD WT 0/6
LD+leptin WT 5/6
WT LD 0/6
WT LD+leptin1,2 6/6
WT LD+leptin2,3 6/6
WT LD+MEFs 8/8
WT Ob 0/6
WT Ob+MEFs4 6/6
