Data are means ± SEM of 6–18 mice per group. Sum of WAT, combined weight of right inguinal, right epididymal or pcriovarian, right retroperitoneal, and mesenteric white adipose tissue as a percent of body weight; PP, pancreatic polypeptide; ND, not determined.

P < 0.05, bP < 0.01, cP < 0.001 versus OB/ob control mice. dP < 0.05 versus ob/ob mice.
