Cures the disease
If an animal has no receptors or target cells, what happens when there is shared circulation with a normal animal?
Excess hormone
No effect on disease
Leptin serves as a what?
Feedback signal
Ob/Ob mutation’s extra stop codon terminates what?
Leptin transcript
Hypoleptinemia is related to what mouse mutation?
Ob/Ob mutation
db/db’s extra stop codon terminates what?
Leptin receptor
Functional hypoleptinemia is related to what mutation?
db/db mutation
ob/ob is missing?
Leptin hormone
db/db is missing?
Leptin receptor
When an ob/ob mouse shares blood with a Wildtype mouse, what happens?
The Wildtype blood normalizes ob/ob
Therefore, Wildtype has hormone that ob/ob is missing
