Figure 2. Growth curves and body composition.
(a, b) Mice were fed chow or HF diet after weaning. Body weights were monitored up to 14 weeks on diet (n=10–18 for female mice and 11–24 for the male mice). Circles for chow diet, squares for HF diet, white symbols for mmp9+/+, and black symbols for mmp9−/−. (c-f) Body composition was determined in mice at 18 weeks of age (n=7–25). (g, h) Percent fat and lean mass was calculated (n=7–25). White bars for mmp9+/+, grey bars for mmp9+/−, and black bars for mmp9−/−. †p<0.05 with genotype. *p<0.05 when compared to mmp9+/+.
