Body weight (g) | 32.8±1.4 | 45.7±1.0* | 34.9±5.0 | 46.5±2.1† |
Weight of Epi fat (mg/g b.w.) | 21.4±3.0 | 50.0±4.3* | 28.3±4.0 | 51.1±4.3† |
Weight of Sc fat (mg/g b.w.) | 18.1±1.5 | 54.4±4.0* | 18.7±2.3 | 54.2±2.1† |
Blood glucose (mg/dl) | 112.8±4.2 | 213.0±8.9* | 109.1±17.5 | 188.1±7.6† |
Adipocyte size (μm2) | 4844.6±607.88 | 8803.0±796.5* | 5383.5±899.7 | 10383.6±484.3† |
Body weights, epididymal (Epi) fat weights, subcutaneous (Sc) fat weights, blood glucose concentrations, and adipocyte sizes of 25-week-old mice are indicated. Values are means ±S.E.M.
*P<0.01 vs. WT-ND mice and †P<0.01 vs. ahKO-ND mice. No category is significantly different between WT-ND mice and ahKO-ND mice and between WT-HFD mice and ahKO-HFD mice.
