Figure 1.

Body weight and composition of bGH and GHR^−/− mice. Body and tissue weights were determined in bGH mice (diagonal-hatched bars) and WT control mice (black bars) (n = 10 per group) and in GHR^−/− mice (horizontal-hatched bars) and WT control mice (white bars) (n = 8 per group). (A) Total body weight was determined 1 week prior to dissection and (B) body length was measured at dissection. Body composition (fat, lean, and fluid mass) is shown for (C) bGH and WT control mice and (D) GHR^−/− and WT control mice. Sc, Epi, Ret, and Mes white adipose depots as well as BAT were weighed in (E) bGH and WT mice and (F) GHR^−/− and WT mice. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean; *P < 0.05.
