Fig 1. Weight increase and adipose to body weight ratio of different dietary groups and mouse strains.

Fig 1

(A-C) Weight increase of HF, EtOH, and HF + EtOH groups and different mouse strains was monitored twice a week, resulting in regimen induced weight increase in C57BL/6 and CD-1 but not in 129Sv mice. (D-F) Adipose to body weight ratios of respective strains and dietary groups, showing increased subcutaneous as well as total adipose to body weight ratio in C57BL/6 and 129Sv mice, while CD-1 mice exhibited only minor changes due to HF, EtOH, and HF + EtOH feeding. At the end of each experiment, subcutaneous as well as visceral adipose tissue was dissected, weighted and subcutaneous adipose, visceral adipose, and total adipose to body weight ratios were calculated. Shown are medians with interquartile ranges and relevant significant differences are marked by an asterisk (Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunns test of selected pairs of columns, P values of <0.05).
