Restoration of gallstone susceptibility by leptin in C57BL/6J ob/ob mice
The absence of leptin due to the ob mutation leads to obesity and confers resistance to diet-induced cholesterol gallstone formation in otherwise susceptible C57BL/6J mice. To investigate contributions of obesity and leptin to gallstone susceptibility, C57BL/6J ob/ob mice were treated daily with i.p...
