LEVEILLEFood Science & Human Nutrition Department,Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824ABSTRACT Estimates of food intake and body weight gain were obtained in obese (ob/ob) mice from 7 to 56 days of age. Milk intake wasestimated daily from 7 to 21 days of age; there were no differences betweenobese and lean mice. From 14 to 21 days of age, obese mice gained morebody weight than lean mice. At 21 days of age, the carcasses of obese micecontained about twice as much fat as the carcasses of lean mice did,whereas the protein content was not different. Mice were weaned at 21days of age, and individually fed a stock diet or a high-fat diet. During thefirst several days after weaning, obese males consumed less food than didthe lean males. After approximately 28 to 35 days of age, obese mice consumed more food and gained more weight than lean mice. At 56 days ofage, obese mice contained 4 to 5 times as much body fat as did lean mice,but contained significantly less body protein than lean mice. For the 5week post-weaning period, obese mice converted 3 to 4 times more dietaryenergy to body energy than did lean mice, whereas obese mice consumedonly 20 to 40% more energy. At the same time, obese mice converted onlyabout 70% as much dietary protein to body protein as did lean mice. Thehigh-fat diet markedly enhanced the apparent energy efficiency in obesemice. The present studies suggest that alterations in energy metabolism,as well as in protein metabolism, may play an important role in the development of obesity in these mice. Hyperphagia may be of secondary importance. J.
