| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, using recently established 2 lines of mice with different susceptibility to high fat diet-induced glucose intolerance, we analyzed the phenotypic differences between the glucose intolerance-prone (Prone) and -resistant (Resistant) mice, focusing on feeding behavior. Here, we identified heritable differences in gene expression, blood plasma level, and signal intensity of leptin between the Prone and Resistant mice as a key factor showing the overeating tendency in Prone mice from the young stage. These results suggest that heritable differences in leptin dynamics play an important role, via overeating, in regulating the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
