N normal phenotype
nervous system
• all lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) Nts +ve neurons treated with leptin become hyperpolarized; in controls, about 20% of wild-type LHA Nts +ve neurons treated with leptin while about 60% depolarize upon leptin treatment
• this indicates that deletion of Lepr from Lepr, Nts +ve neurons abrogates the direct depolarization response

N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• males have decreased lean mass as a proportion of body mass compared to controls at 12-15 weeks
• at 12-15 weeks, mice show increased body weight relative to controls

adipose tissue
• mice show higher adiposity at 12-15 weeks
• gonadal fat pad white adipose tissue (WAT) weight is increased relative to controls at 12-15 weeks
• mice have increased % fat mass/total body mass compared to controls at 12-15 weeks

behavior/neurological
• in response to injection of amphetamine (AMPH), locomotor activity rapidly increases in controls, but effect is blunted in Lepr mutants
• mice exhibit decreased ambulatory activity across the light-dark cycle compared to controls

nervous system
• fasting does not increase activity of orexin neurons (measured by c-fos expression) in mutants in contrast to induction of robust activity in control animals
• treatment with leptin for 24 hours increases orexin expression by neurons in controls but not in mutants
• amphetamine-evoked dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, NAc, is reduced (reduced amplitude of dopamine peak and increased dopamine biological half-life measured by amperometry) suggesting dopamine transporter activity is decreased in the NAc, contributing to reduceAMPH-induced activity

homeostasis/metabolism
• higher at 12-15 weeks
• mice show decreased VO2 compared normalized to body weight compared to controls
• treatment with leptin for 24 hours reduces weight of control animals, but action of leptin is blunted in mutants

• 62% of brain slice lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) Nts +ve neurons depolarize when treated with leptin while about 20% of Nts +ve neurons respond with slow hyperpolarization
