The triacylglycerol content and the in vivo lipogenesis rates of the liver and the carcass of 12
groups of mice were studied. They were mice of three strains and affected by mutations at
three loci: C57BL/6J-ob/ob and normal mice; C57BL/KsJ-db/db and normal mice; and
VY/WfL-A vy/a and normal mice. Each type of mice was studied at two body weight levels,
before and after the mutants became grossly obese. It was found that the C57BL/6J-ob/ob
and the C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice had the characteristics of juvenile type obesity. They had …
