FIG. 2.

Phenotype of vaspin+/+, vaspin+/−, and vaspin−/− mice. A: Body weight of vaspin+/+, vaspin+/−, and vaspin−/− fed standard (STD) and HFHS chow (n = 20). B: Epididymal fat and liver weight of vaspin+/+, vaspin+/−, and vaspin−/− mice at 25 weeks of age (n = 8–12). B.W., body weight. C: The adipocyte size of epididymal fat pad and histological appearance in periodic acid Schiff staining (bar = 100 μm) (n = 5). D: Glucose tolerance test at 12 weeks of age (1.5 mg/kg body wt i.p.). E: Insulin tolerance test at 12 weeks of age (0.75 units/kg body wt i.p. for standard chow and 1.0 units/kg body wt i.p. for HFHS) (n = 5–7). Values are presented as means ± SEM in A–E. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. vaspin+/+ HFHS mice; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. vaspin+/+ HFHS mice.
