MAGP1 deficiency causes excess adiposity in mice. A: Mfap2−/− mice have significantly more WAT. Mass and differential volume (photo) of epididymal fat pads from 5-month-old WT and Mfap2−/− mice (mean ± SEM; n = 9 and 8). B: Whole-body fat and lean content determined by EchoMRI on 5-month-old mice (mean ± SEM; n = 9 and 8). C: Body weight of 5-month-old mice (mean ± SEM.; n = 9 and 8). D: Increased adiposity due to MAGP1 deletion is apparent by 9–10 weeks of age. Longitudinal EchoMRI study of whole-body adiposity from 5 to 15 weeks of age (mean ± SEM; n = 10 and 8). E: Daily food consumption was measured in 7-week-old mice, prior to changes in adiposity. Food intake was determined per mouse over 7 days (mean ± SEM; n = 5 and 5). F: Infrared-based activity measured during light (day) and dark (night) cycles (mean ± SEM; n = 9 and 8). Student t test was used for single comparisons (*P ≤ 0.05). RU, relative units.
