Caption

A: Rapid weight loss in nonsuckling newborn Dgat2^tm1Far/Dgat2^tm1Far (Dgat2^-/-) mice. Newborn mice were isolated from mothers, and body weights were measured over time. The increased weight loss in mutant mice is presumably because of water loss. B. Increased toluidine blue staining of newborn mutant mice. Mice were immersed in toluidine blue for 10 minutes, rinsed with PBS, and photographed. C: Sections of skin of newborn mice stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
