Open AccessEffects of Melanocortin 3 and 4 Receptor Deficiency on Energy Homeostasis in Rats
Melanocortin-3 and 4 receptors (MC3R and MC4R) can regulate energy homeostasis, but their respective roles especially the functions of MC3R need more exploration. Here Mc3r and Mc4r single and double knockout (DK...
