Table 1. Comparison of abdominal fat weight and serum components in KK-Ay mice after 4 weeks of treatment with vehicle or 10H2DA.
| Vehicle (n=7) | 10H2DA (n=8) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fat weight (g) | ||
| Retroperitoneal fat | 4.91 ± 0.24 | 5.02 ± 0.29 |
| Mesenteric fat | 1.04 ± 0.07 | 1.17 ± 0.05 |
| Abdominal fat | 5.95 ± 0.26 | 6.19 ± 0.34 |
| Adiposity index (%) | ||
| Retroperitoneal fat | 13.21 ± 0.42 | 13.24 ± 0.46 |
| Mesenteric fat | 2.80 ± 0.16 | 3.10 ± 0.09 |
| Abdominal fat | 16.02 ± 0.42 | 16.34 ± 0.50 |
| NEFA (mEq/l) | 0.98 ± 0.09 | 0.99 ± 0.09 |
| TG (mg/dl) | 116.86 ± 11.12 | 140.84 ± 31.97 |
| TCHO (mg/dl) | 121.75 ± 5.37 | 132.93 ± 4.60 |
| Adiponectin (mg/ml) | 3.33 ± 0.32 | 3.60 ± 0.36 |
NEFA: non-esterified fatty acids; TG: triglycerides; TCHO: total cholesterol. Fat weight was measured on the day the mice were sacrifiecd. NEFA, TG, TCHO and adiponectin levels were measured in the fasting state on the day the mice were sacrificed. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM.
