Assessment of feeding behavior in laboratory mice.
The global obesity epidemic has heightened the need for an improved understanding of how body weight is controlled, and research using mouse models is critical to this effort. In this perspective, we provide a conceptual framework for investigation of feeding behavior in this species, with an emphasis on factors that influence study design, data interpretation, and relevance to feeding behavior...
متن کاملFeeding behavior in dopamine-deficient mice.
Mice that cannot make dopamine (DA), a condition caused by the selective inactivation of tyrosine hydroxylase in dopaminergic neurons, are born normal but gradually become hypoactive and hypophagic, and die at 3 weeks of age. We characterized the feeding and locomotor responses of these DA-deficient (DA-/-) mice to 3, 4-dihyroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) to investigate the relationship between b...
متن کاملA Review of Mycoplasma in Laboratory Mice
Mycoplasma are small, cell-free bacteria enclosed by a membrane. These bacteria belong to the class of Mollicutes, the order of Mycoplasma tales, and the genus of Mycoplasma. There are more than 100 identified species of mycoplasma. The ratio of cytosine to guanine in its DNA is 23–40% and its genome size is 1350–600 kb. Mycoplasma require cholesterol to grow, and the temperature su...
متن کاملStudy of zoonotic bacteria in conventional laboratory mice breeding colonies
To investigate the status of conventional laboratory mice colonies for zoonotic bacteria, three mice colonies, NIH, NMRI and Balb/c strains of Razi institute were studied for five zoonotic bacteria including Pasteurella pneumotropica, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, Streptobacillus moniliformis, Streptococcus Pneumonia. Study populations were 74 mice of premature, mature and pos...
متن کاملNeuronal functions, feeding behavior, and energy balance in Slc2a3+/- mice.
Homozygous deletion of the gene of the neuronal glucose transporter GLUT3 (Slc2a3) in mice results in embryonic lethality, whereas heterozygotes (Slc2a3+/-) are viable. Here, we describe the characterization of heterozygous mice with regard to neuronal function, glucose homeostasis, and, since GLUT3 might be a component of the neuronal glucose-sensing mechanism, food intake and energy balance. ...
