FIG. 6. — Effect of castration on adipocyte size and adipose tissue weight. Male and female mice were castrated (C) or sham operated (S). Six weeks after surgery, total body weights and adipose tissue weights from PG and SC fat were assessed, and adipocytes were isolated as described in research design and methods. Mean cell size was calculated by dividing the total lipid content by the total number of cells on a sample. Graphs show the mean adipocyte size (A) or adipose tissue weight (B) from six animals per group. *P < 0.05.
