Adipose tissue, triglycerides, and adiponectin. A, In 16-wk-old IGFBP-3−/− male mice, plasma triglycerides (TG) were reduced in the fed state but not different in the fasted state (n = 5–7 per group); B, reduced WAT mass in the IGFBP-3−/− group in a fed state (n = 15–20 per group); C, IGFBP-3−/− mice have reduced adiponectin (ADN) levels as measured with ELISA in both fed and fasted states (n = 5 per group) and as measured with immunoblotting in fed plasma (inset). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Means ± sem are presented.
