The administration of the protein caused a reduction in the mice's body weight and adipose storage.  In addition, the mice also ate less. The body weight of the ob/ob was down 40% after 33 days and significantly different after only four days. The wild-type mice also had a reduction in body weight, body fat, and amount consumed. For the mice with diabetes, the injection did not cause a significant reduction in body weight or amount of food consumed, although they did lose some weight.
