Body composition of male mice on a normal diet

	Body Weight, g	Fat Mass, g	%Fat Mass	Lean Mass, g	%Lean Mass	Water Mass, g
WT	35.6 ± 2.8	6.3 ± 1.3	16.9 ± 3.9	26.6 ± 1.6	75.3 ± 3.3	24.1 ± 1.4
KO	27.2 ± 1.3*	0.1 ± 0.0*	0.5 ± 0.1*	24.9 ± 1.2	91.7 ± 0.4*	22.5 ± 1.1

Data are means ± SE. Sibling pairs of male WT and Clic5 KO mice (11–25 wk old; n = 5 of each genotype) were maintained on regular chow. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging was used to determine the fat mass, lean mass, and water mass of each mouse.
