Body weight and sEH mRNA levels in different fat pads

	SFD	HFD
Initial weight (g)	21.3 ± 0.5	21.1 ± 0.6
End weight (g)*	28.9 ± 0.6	42.6 ± 0.7
Epididymal fat	1.15 ± 0.30	0.54 ± 0.09
Subcutaneous fat	0.46 ± 0.07	0.77 ± 0.16
Perirenal fat*	2.14 ± 0.41†	0.78 ± 0.15
Pericardial fat	0.02 ± 0.004†	0.09 ± 0.04

Data are mean ± s.e.m.; n = 5. sEH mRNA levels are expressed relative to epididymal fat SFD.

sEH, soluble epoxide hydrolase; SFD, standard fat diet; HFD, high-fat diet.

^*P< 0.001 for HFD vs. SFD,

^†P< 0.05 vs. epididymal fat.
