Characterization of mice with 1 week of STD, HFD, and STD, HFD + AICAR

	STD	STD-AICAR	HFD	HFD-AICAR
Body weight, g	21.30 ± 0.70	22.50 ± 0.35	24.77 ± 0.54a,b	23.75 ± 0.52a
Plasma glucose level, mg/dl	175.7 ± 9.6	151.3 ± 8.4	190.7 ± 8.6	178.9 ± 10.5
Kidney weight, g	0.259 ± 0.013	0.2665 ± 0.005	0.290 ± 0.005a	0.265 ± 0.004
Kidney weight, g/mm of tibia length	0.0138 ± 0.0009	0.0136 ± 0.0003	0.0160 ± 0.0004a,b	0.0138 ± 0.0003c
Adiponectin, μg/ml	15.12 ± 2.02	16.13 ± 1.66	8.54 ± 0.89a,b	18.45 ± 3.94c

Values are means ± SEM. n = 6 in each group. Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls test.

^aP ≤ 0.05 versus mice on STD

^bP ≤ 0.05 versus mice on STD-AICAR.

^cP ≤ 0.05 versus mice on HFD.
