Associate Professor Amanda Sainsbury - Salis expressed surprise at the impact of the Y6 gene deletion on mice, commenting «I find it amazing that one gene, which is expressed in the small part of the brain that controls the body clock, has such a profound impact on how much fat is stored on the body, and how much lean tissue is maintained.»

This is interesting, given that muscle / lean muscle mass ratios of non-skeletal muscle organs from IL - 15Rα — KO mice, such as the heart, spleen, and kidneys, were not significantly different from those of B6129 controls.

Pair - fed mice lost only 5 percent of bodyweight, and their lean mass did not change appreciably; leucine deprived mice lost 15 percent of body - weight, and their lean mass was the same as the control mice, and unchanged.There were no strength or endurance challenges, but when one considers that the mice lost 50 percent of abdominal fat, 15 percent of bodyweight, and had no loss of lean mass, that is incredible.
