Skeletal muscle and fad pad mass (mg) of Sed and VWR animals following 8 weeks of high-fat feeding
| WT | Sln–/– | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mass (mg) | Sed | VWR | Sed | VWR |
| SOL | 8.9 ± 0.5 | 9.9 ± 0.6 | 10.0 ± 1.1 | 9.4 ± 0.4 |
| Epididymal | 738.6 ± 34.1 | 679.8 ± 58.1 | 835.6 ± 50.7 | 905.9 ± 116.1 |
| Retroperitoneal | 460.4 ± 34.2 | 419.4 ± 46.1 | 585.9 ± 37.5 | 549.3 ± 82.0 |
Values displayed are mean ± SE. A significant main effect of genotype (P < 0.05) existed for epididymal (Sln–/– > WT) and retroperitoneal (Sln–/– > WT) fat pad mass. Sed, sedentary; VWR, voluntary wheel running; WT, wild type; SOL, soleus.
