Increased oxidative stress in plasma and WAT of obese KKAy mice. (A) Body weight, parametrial WAT weight, plasma levels of glucose, lipid peroxidation (TBARS), and H₂O₂ in C57BL/6 and KKAy mice at 7 and 13 weeks of age. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8). (B) Tissue levels of lipid peroxidation in WAT, liver, and skeletal muscle of C57BL/6 and KKAy mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8). (C) The release of H₂O₂ from WAT, skeletal muscle, and aorta of C57BL/6 and KKAy mice at 7 weeks of age. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). ***P < 0.001 compared with C57BL/6 mice.
