CNP concentration in plasma and tissues of A-CNP Tg mice.

	Wt	A-CNP
Plasma (pg/mL)	N.D.	1.30 ± 0.19
Brown adipose tissue (pg/mg)	N.D.	0.39 ± 0.03
Inguinal white adipose tissue (pg/mg)	N.D.	0.20 ± 0.02
Mesenteric white adipose tissue (pg/mg)	N.D.	0.16 ± 0.14

Plasma CNP concentration was analyzed (CNP-22 RIA kit, Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, Burlingame, CA, USA) in mice fed standard diet; all other concentrations were measured in mice fed the high-fat diet. N. D, not detectable. The data are presented as means ± SEM. n = 3–4.
