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.
P < 0.05 WT vs. KO.
