Figure 3.
DDOST+/− mice have increased central adiposity despite greater physical activity. (A) Fat percentage measured by EchoMRI (left) and weight of omental fat deposits (right). (B,C) CLAMS apparatus measured 24 hour physical activity and caloric intake at 24 weeks post-dietary intervention in WT () and DDOST+/− (
) mice fed on either a high AGE diet (closed circles) or a low AGE diet (open circles). (B) Total locomotor activity in the horizontal plane measured by infrared beam breaks. (C) The line graphs show average hourly heat generation over the 24-hour period. The bar graphs on the right show the average physical activity over the entire 12-hour light/sleep (left) and dark/active (right) period. Data represented as means ± SD (n = 4–9/group). *P < 0.05, student’s t-test, α (genotype effect) P < 0.05, β (diet effect) P < 0.05, as per figure above. 2-way ANOVA and multiple comparison of genotype, diet and interaction by Bonferroni’s post hoc test.
