Fecal corticosteroids in agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2002
Total and per gram fecal corticosteroid concentrations were determined for agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis) over 24 h under normal caging conditions and after exposure to the stress of novel caging. Per gram corticosteroid concentrations, fecal output, and 24-h corticosteroid production were greater in stressed compared

Inverse agonist activity of agouti and agouti-related protein

Peptides, 2003
Agouti and agouti-related protein (AgRP) are endogenous antagonists of the melanocortin receptors (MCxR). Previous data showed that recombinant full-length agouti and a synthetic fragment of AgRP, AgRP (83-132), are inverse agonists at the MC1R and MC4R, respectively.

Thyroxine levels in agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2001
Total thyroxine was assessed by radioimmunoassay for 58 female deer mice of two subspecies (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii and P. m. gracilis) and two color morphs (agouti and non-agouti). P. m. bairdii of both color-morphs had significantly higher mean thyroxine levels than P. m. gracilis.

Agouti regulates adipocyte transcription factors

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2001
Agouti is a secreted paracrine factor that regulates pigmentation in hair follicle melanocytes. Several dominant mutations cause ectopic expression of agouti, resulting in a phenotype characterized by yellow fur, adult-onset obesity and diabetes, increased linear growth and skeletal mass, and increased susceptibility to tumors.
