Abstract

The influence of various agouti locus genotypes and phenotypes, castration, fat content of the diet and their interactions on the rates of glucose oxidation and conversion to lipid, blood glucose level, epididymal adipose tissue weight and body weight has been studied in male mice of the inbred YS/ChWf, VY/Wf, C3H/DiHeWf-Avy and NZO/BlWf strains. Although the lethal yellow (Ay) and viable yellow (Avy) genes, castration and a high fat content diet, all increased epididymal adipose tissue weight, the inducing mechanisms are probably different for each of these factors.
