Table 2.
Food and water consumption per day.
WT SD | WT HFHF-STZ | AT2R-KO SD | AT2R-KO HFHF-STZ | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mean water consumption (mL.day−1) | 6.1 ± 0.2 | 4.8 ± 0.1a | 5.4 ± 0.1a | 5.1 ± 0.1 |
Mean food consumption (g.day−1) | 4.5 ± 0.2 | 2.3 ± 0.1a | 3.7 ± 0.1a | 2.3 ± 0.1c |
Mean caloric intake (kcal.day−1) | 15.3 ± 0.8 | 11.2 ± 0.4a | 12.7 ± 0.2a | 11.6 ± 0.5c |
Values are means ± SE from 9–10 animals per group. Wild-type (WT) and AT2R-knockout-out (KO) mice were fed for 6 weeks either with standard laboratory rodent diet (SD) or with a high-fat/high-fructose with small injection of streptozotocin (HFHF-STZ). Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney test. a: P < 0 .05 vs. WT SD; b: P < 0 .05 vs. WT HFHF-STZ ; c: P < 0 .05 vs. AT2R-KO SD.
