Leptin Receptor Deficiency Results in Hyperphagia and Increased Fatty Acid Mobilization during Fasting in Rainbow Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>)

Leptin Receptor Deficiency Results in Hyperphagia and Increased Fatty Acid Mobilization during Fasting in Rainbow Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>)

Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone known for regulating appetite and metabolism. To characterize the role of leptin signaling in rainbow trout, we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to disrupt the leptin receptor (LepR) genes, <i>lepra1</i> and <i>lepra2</i>. We compared wildtype (...
