Figure 4. Mutation of SK3 in AgRP/NPY Neurons Increased Susceptibility to DIO.
(A) Body weight gain of male control and AgRP-SK3-KO littermates since they were switched to HFD feeding. n = 7 or 9 mice per group. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (t tests for each time point).
(B) Cumulative HFD intake. n = 7 or 9 mice per group. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.01 (t tests for each time point).
(C) Fat mass and lean mass gain since HFD feeding. n = 7 or 11 mice per group. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (t tests for each time point).
(D–F) Weights of iWAT (D), gWAT (E) and BAT (F) pads measured at the end of HFD feeding. n = 7 or 9 mice per group. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (t tests).
(G) Relative mRNA levels of indicated genes in BAT. n = 7 mice per group. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (t tests).
