behavior/neurological
• administration of neuromedin had no apparent effect on overnight food intake in mutants whereas controls show decreased food intake and a trend toward a weight reduction after treatment
|
• mutants show a slight, but significant decrease in food intake relative to wild-type at 4 and 24 hours postfast
|
• mutants do not display grooming behavior upon central injection of neuromedin U in contrast to treated wild-type mice which show intense grooming behavior
|
• following centrally injected neuromedin U, mutants show no hyperalgesic effect to formalin injection, while wild-type mice show a prolonged hyperalgesic response
|
• mutants show a mild but consistent increased latency of hindlimb shaking/paw licking response in hot plate test

• mutants do not display obvious differences in electrophysiological properties compared to wild-type
