ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	beginning at 16 weeks of age on a normal diet, mice lacking Prlhr overate, became obese, had increased body fat as well as leptin and insulin levels, and showed decreased glucose tolerance
	Prlhr -/- mice had higher nociceptive thresholds and stronger stress-induced analgesia than wildtype mice, and that these differences could be suppressed by naloxone
