Ad-GHRKO Exacerbates Dietary Obesity but Improves Glucose Homeostasis during HF Feeding
(A) Representative photographs of 24-week-old male Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice (HF fed for 16 weeks).
(B)The growth curves of Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice during RC or HF feeding.
(C) Increase in body weight (24 weeks versus 4 weeks) of 24-week-old male Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice (HF fed for 16 weeks).
(D) Fat tissue weight of 24-week-old male Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice (HF fed for 16 weeks).
(E and F) Fasting blood glucose levels of Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice fed with HF for 8 (E) and 16 weeks (F).
(G–J) Glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test of Ad-GHRKO and Flox mice fed with HF for 8 (G and H) and 16 weeks (I and J). Inset: The area under curves.
All values are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance is shown as *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001. See also Figures S1 and S5 and Table S2.
