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.
