This lecture discusses the impact of genetic mutations on weight regulation, focusing on the Mc4R receptor and its role in obesity. It covers the consequences of Mc4R mutations, the inhibition of food intake, and the expression patterns of agouti and Raly genes. The lecture also explores the use of microinjection techniques in modifying genetic material and the specific expression of transgenes in mice.
