TABLE 1.

Body and eAT weights, SVC numbers in eAT, and whole-body insulin resistance (ITT) in mice fed either the LFD or HFD for 8 (n = 6) or 12 (n = 7–11) weeks

	Body weight (g)	eAT weight (g)	Total number of SVCs (×106)	Area under curve (ITT)
8 weeks LFD	28.27 ± 0.33*	0.54 ± 0.02*	1.23 ± 0.13*	5,200 ± 260*
8 weeks HFD	37.65 ± 0.56†	2.24 ± 0.19†	4.78 ± 0.31†	6,760 ± 315†
12 weeks LFD	29.21 ± 0.61*	0.63 ± 0.06*	1.99 ± 0.26*	—
12 weeks HFD	40.95 ± 0.61‡	1.86 ± 0.10†	8.00 ± 0.71‡	7,890 ± 346‡

Data are means ± SE. Means identified by different symbols are significantly different (P < 0.05, ANOVA and Tukey procedure).
