Figure 5. Fat mass accumulation and distribution in MCT1 +/+ and MCT1 +/− mice fed a normal chow or high fat diet.

Figure 5

(A) Fat mass changes in MCT1 +/+ and MCT1 +/− mice fed a normal chow or a high fat diet for different periods of time. Results are mean ± SEM, n = 4-9. Asterisks represent a statistically significant difference between MCT1 +/+ and MCT1 +/− mice evaluated using a Student’s t-test. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001. +/+, MCT1 +/+; +/-, MCT1 +/−; NC, normal chow; HFD, high fat diet; 2 m, 2 months; 9 m, 9 months. (B) Comparative histological analysis of liver and distinct adipose tissues of MCT1 +/+ and MCT1 +/− mice fed a high fat diet for 11 months. ScWAT, subcutaneous white adipose tissue; PgWAT, perigonadal white adipose tissue; IgWAT, inguinal white adipose tissue. Calibration bar, 100 µm.
