Body weight, food intake, blood glucose, and insulin in LepR−/−,GcgR−/− mice
Genotype | Body weight, g | Food intake, kcal/d | Blood glucose, mg/100mL | Plasma insulin, ng/mL |
LepR−/−,GcgR+/+ | 59.0 ± 4.3* | 22.4 ± 1.1** | 455 ± 19.2**,† | 38.1 ± 1.3** |
LepR−/−,GcgR−/− | 45.0 ± 1.6* | 15.5 ± 1.1**,‡ | 70 ± 5.0**,‡ | 7.2 ± 1.5**,‡ |
LepR−/−,GcgR−/− + Adv-GcgR | 48.0 ± 0.8 | 24.0 ± 1.7‡ | 391 ± 33.0‡,† | 31.0 ± 3.0‡ |
n = 6 for each diet/treatment. Body weight, food intake, blood glucose, and plasma insulin are significantly different (P < 0.05) comparing LepR−/−,GcgR−/− and LepR−/−,GcgR−/− mice. All four parameters are not significantly different comparing LepR−/−,GcgR+/+ mice to LepR−/−,GcgR−/− treated with Adv-GcgR. Within a column, symbols indicate pairwise comparisons with P < 0.05.
