Adipose tissue lipid and serum parameters in wild-type (Wt) and A-CNP Tg mice fed high-fat diet (HFD).

	Wt	A-CNP
Mesenteric adipose tissue
Triglycerides (mg/g)	6.6 ± 0.9	3.9 ± 0.4*
Serum
Triglycerides (mg/dL)	160.4 ± 17.1	135.2 ± 26.5
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	156.2 ± 5.1	128.7 ± 11.0*
Free fatty acids (mEq/L)	0.7 ± 0.04	0.5 ± 0.04*
Insulin (ng/mL)	0.7 ± 0.20	0.4 ± 0.03
