About the Image

The Nhlh2 knockout mice show adult-onset obesity. This animal, a male, was approximately 1 year old and 100 grams in weight when the photo was taken. Normal mice weigh only about 35 grams at that age. More information on these animals is available at http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~dgoodlab/
