Weights of inguinal, mesenteric, retroperitoneal (RP), and intrascapular brown (IBAT) depots (A) as well as left and right ventricles, left and right kidneys, and pancreas (B) in study 2. Choice-diet-fed rats had heavier fat depots, larger right ventricular weights, and smaller kidney and pancreas weights compared with chow-diet-fed rats. BW, body weight. Data are means ± SE (n = 8 rats/group for all depots and organs). Mann-Whitney U test for inguinal adipose tissue. Student’s t-test for other variables.
