Objective and hypotheses: The aim was to elucidate the mechanism underlying the extreme obesity observed in female heterozygous MeCP2 null mice fed a high-fat diet.Method: We examined the molecular biology and physiology of female heterozygous MeCP2 null mice (Mecp2tm1.1Bird/J, MeCP2+/− mice) fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks since 4 weeks of age using analytical tools. C57/BL6 mice were used as controls.<p class="abs...
