As a result, the light-bathed mice packed on between 25% and 50% more fat, despite eating and moving the same amount as the control group, the team reports online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
With nerves jangling, the race had played out like a game of cat and mouse, the pack looping the track in near slow motion, jogging the early laps in cautious mood.
Using a video camera trained on chili plants, the researchers found that birds (mostly curve-billed thrashers) fed on the ripe pepper fruit, but that other local animals like cactus mice and pack rats did not.
The tray's bottom layer was all business: tiny, adorable sandwiches — cucumber and cream cheese, salmon and egg — stacked together tightly, as if a fancy mouse had packed an emergency shelter.

To test the compounds on nerve injuries in live animals, the researchers crushed an optic nerve in adult mice then packed the nerve with foam soaked with one of the EGFR blockers.
BAT from N2KO mice appears packed with larger lipid vacuoles compared with the dense, small lipid vacuoles in BAT from WT mice.
When injected with G-CSF, the marrow of SOCS-3−/− mice became packed with actively proliferating granulocytic cells, which invaded adjacent muscle tissue, the spinal canal and the liver.
