Adipocyte‐specific FAK deletion causes decreased fat mass and abnormal glucose tolerance in mice. (A) Western blot analysis of FAK in the indicated tissues (n  =  5 per group). (B) Weight of adipose tissue at different sites in mice at 12 weeks of age (n  =  10 per group). (C) macroscopic views of IngWAT and EpiWAT. (D) Micro‐CT views of IngWAT and EpiWAT. Subcutaneous fat is represented in green while visceral fat is depicted in red. (E–F) GTT and the AUC of GTT in mice at 10 weeks of age (n  =  10 per group). FAK, focal adhesion kinase; FAK AKO, adipocyte FAK knockout; IngWAT, inguinal white adipose tissue; EpiWAT, epididymal white adipose tissue; pWAT, perirenal adipose tissue; mWAT, mesenteric adipose tissue; BAT, brown adipose tissue; Micro‐CT, microcomputed tomography; AUC, the area under the curve. All values are expressed as MEAN  ±  SEM, ** P  <  0.05, *** P  <  0.001.
