Figure 4.

The effect of the Western-type diet on body weight gain and adiposity in wildtype (WT) and homozygous OE-NPY^DBH mice. Total weight gain (a), food intake (b), and total amount of fat tissue (c) were measured as deascribed in Experiment 2 in Section 2. Values are expressed as means ± SEM. n = 12, WT females; n = 7, OE-NPY^DBH females. White squares and bars = WT; black squares and bars = OE-NPY^DBH.   **P < 0.01 with a Mann-Whitney test; P = 0.05 with a Student's t-test.
