[16] Fossils of one genus in Castoroidinae, Dipoides , have been found near piles of chewed wood, [ 13 ] though Dipoides appears to have been an inferior woodcutter compared to Castor .

Among other things, depression, drive for activity, repetitive thoughts of food, inner restlessness, and weight phobia decreased rapidly. Whether metreleptin (or another leptin analogue) is a suitable treatment for anorexia nervosa is currently unknown. Potential side effects are weight loss and the development of anti-metreleptin antibodies. [161]
