| dc.description.abstract | Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a human genetic condition that affects up to 1 in 10,000 live births. Affected infants present with hypotonia and developmental delay. Hyperphagia and increasing body weight follow unless drastic calorie restriction is initiated. Recently, our laboratory showed that one of the genes in the deleted locus causative for PWS, <i>Snord116</i>, maintains increased expression of hypothalamic <i>Nhlh2</i>, a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor. We have previously also shown that obese mice with a deletion of <i>Nhlh2</i> respond to a conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) diet with weight and fat loss. In this study, we investigated whether mice with a paternal deletion of <i>Snord116</i> (<i>Snord116<sup>m+/p−</sup></i>) would respond similarly. We found that while <i>Snord116<sup>m+/p−</sup></i> mice and mice with a deletion of both <i>Snord116</i> alleles were not significantly obese on a high-fat diet, they did lose body weight and fat on a high-fat/CLA diet, suggesting that the genotype did not interfere with CLA actions. There were no changes in food intake or metabolic rate, and only moderate differences in exercise performance. RNA-seq and microbiome analyses identified hypothalamic mRNAs, and differentially populated gut bacteria, that support future mechanistic analyses. CLA may be useful as a food additive to reduce obesity in humans with PWS. | en |
