phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• body weight is 2- to 3-fold more than in wild-type mice by 10 weeks of age
• however, body weight is 10% and 20% less in males and females, respectively, compared to Leprrdb homozygotes
• snout to anus length is increased by about 5% compared to wild-type mice

behavior/neurological

homeostasis/metabolism
• increased neointimal hyperplasia relative to Leprdb 4 weeks after femoral artery injury
• mice pair-fed with wild-type mice gain more weight and adipose tissue than wild-type mice
• increase in glucose is less than in Leprrdb homozygotes

reproductive system
• slight delay in the onset of oestrous cycling, median onset at 42 days rather than 36 days as in wild-type mice
• however, all females show signs of vaginal oestrous and no defects in ovulation are seen
• only about 40% of females are fertile

endocrine/exocrine glands
• pups born to homozygous females die within 24 h without milk in their stomachs unless fostered to wild-type mothers

cardiovascular system
• increased neointimal hyperplasia relative to Leprdb 4 weeks after femoral artery injury

integument
• pups born to homozygous females die within 24 h without milk in their stomachs unless fostered to wild-type mothers
