scWAT, subcutaneous inguinal white adipose tissue. Organ weights are from in-house data of rats of the same breed. Total adipose tissue quantified by Rodent DEXA or from the published data for pancreas [Reaven et al., 1987], and kidney, spleen, liver, heart, adrenal gland and brain [Piao et al., 2013]. Skeletal muscle is assumed to be 40% of body weight [Holliday et al., 1967].
