Susceptibility of Male Wild Type Strains to Antipsychotic-induced Weight Gain
2020
Abstract While both men and women gain weight as a side effect of antipsychotic treatment, studies in mice have found only female mice are susceptible to weight gain. Therefore, to we set out to identify a strain of male mice that gain significant weight in response to APs which could better model AP-induced weight gain observed in humans. These studies determined that male Balb/c mice developed late onset olanzapine-induced weight gain. Patients often take APs for many years and thus understanding AP-mediated changes in energy expenditure and body weight regulation is particularly important.
