Related Genotype: Tyrc/TyrcImportant Note
This strain is homozygous for the retinal degeneration allele Pde6brd1.Description
Transgenic mice fed a "Western diet" developed marked obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. Mice hemizygous for the TgN(UcpDta)1Kz transgene develop early obesity in the absence of hyperphagia indicating an increased metabolic efficiency. Hyperphagia does follow and is present in mice over 7 weeks of age.Development
Brown adipose tissue was genetically ablated by incorpation of a toxic transgene, dipththeria toxin A-chain, coupled to regulatory elements of the gene for the brown adipose tissue specific uncoupling protein, UCP.
