POMC and alopecia: Similarly, (experimental setup see Fig. 2B) none of the Pomc/Ptchf/f and Pomc/Smof/f mice showed signs of a deregulated hormone status (e.g. alopecia, weight loss/gain (Fig. 1C and  D), abnormal blood glucose levels (Fig. 1C and  D), abnormal serum Acth levels (Fig. 1E) or increased pituitary weight (Fig. 1F)) 250 days after CreERT2-induction.
