Table 1. Food intake and body composition measurements for AEM controls and FLT mice.
| AEM | FLT | FLT/AEM | P-valueb | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intake | ||||
| Food Intake (g)a | 4.08 ± 0.10 | 4.09 ± 0.18 | 1.00 | 0.865 |
| Water Intake (g) | 3.38 ± 0.22 | 2.73 ± 0.01 | 0.81 | 0.038 |
| Body Composition | ||||
| ΔBody Mass (g)c | -1.18 ± 0.24 | -2.28 ± 0.57 | 1.93 | 0.036 |
| Δ% Fata | 4.12 ± 0.77 | 5.05 ± 1.84 | 1.22 | 0.022 |
| Adipose Depots | ||||
| Inguinal (g) | 0.168 ± 0.018 | 0.144 ± 0.024 | 0.859 | 0.447 |
| Retro-peritoneal (g) | 0.146 ± 0.022 | 0.147 ± 0.029 | 1.00 | 0.995 |
| Perigonadal (g) | 0.411 ± 0.054 | 0.433 ± 0.082 | 1.03 | 0.897 |
| BAT (g) | 0.049 ± 0.007 | 0.034 ± 0.004 | 0.682 | 0.092 |
Values represent mean ± SEM.
aFood and water intakes are calculated based on consumption over the 12.8-day flight for 3 cages of 5 mice in each group and are an estimate of intake per mouse per day.
bP values are obtained using a two-tailed Student’s t-test comparing AEM and FLT means.
cThe mean change (Final–Baseline) of body mass and % fat from DXA measurements are provided; data are presented from n = 6 mice per group, a subset of the 15 mice/group that were originally measured, corresponding to the mice from which we received liver tissue.
