Fat development is impaired in G0s2-knockout mice. (a) Body weight and (b) epididymal fat pad from white adipose tissue (WAT) were evaluated in G0s2-knockout mice and wild-type control mice at the age of 12 weeks. Data represent the mean±S.D. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. (b) Hematoxylin/eosin-stained WAT sections from wild-type and G0s2-knockout mice. Scale bar=100 μm. (c) Distribution of adipocyte size in epididymal WAT from wild-type or G0s2-knockout mice on normal diet (n=3 per group). (d) The diameter of epididymal white adipocytes was determined by ImageJ, and >500 adipocytes were examined for each group. All data are expressed as means±S.D.
