CTR and LMMS 6T body habitus and biochemical parameters in plasma and tissues

Mice	Body mass at 9 weeks, g	Fat volume, mm3	Adipose tissue NEFA, μmol/mg protein	Adipose tissue TG, μg/mg protein	Liver NEFA, μmol/mg protein	Liver TG, μg/mg protein
CTR 6T	20.43 ± 1.27	343.6 ± 59.2	0.19 ± 0.04	2,005.5 ± 656.4	0.0076 ± 0.0014	51.51 ± 0.77
LMMS 6T	19.63 ± 0.93	269.2 ± 52.5	0.10 ± 0.04	1,503.8 ± 474.8	0.0073 ± 0.0011	43.6 ± 2.67
% difference	−3.9	−21.6	−48.0	−25.02	−4.82	−15.3
P value	0.19	0.02	0.02	0.27	0.67	0.002

Data are mean and SD, as well as percentage difference and P values, for the CTR and LMMS 6T body habitus parameters as measured by CT at week 9 of the protocol (n = 8 in each group) and biochemical parameters in plasma (n = 8 in each group) and tissues (n = 4 in each group), measured directly after euthanasia (P values <0.05 are in bold). Note that the fat volume is for a specific region of the abdomen, and not the fat volume for the entire animal.
