Characterization of obesity.
| Characterization | Control | Obese |
|---|---|---|
| Mass (g) | 39,78 ± 0,66 | 38,94 ± 0,74 |
| Lee Index (g/cm³) | 0,308 ± 0,002 | 0,361 ± 0,003**** |
| RP adipose tissue (mg) | 149,17 ± 59,97 | 623,73 ± 17,90**** |
| PG adipose tissue (mg) | 190,14 ± 18,20 | 942,31 ± 85,42**** |
| Abdominal circumference (cm) | 9,39 ± 0,11 | 10,82 ± 0,17**** |
On the 70th day of life, obesity was characterized by the mass, Lee index, retroperitoneal (RP) and perigonadal (PG) adipose tissue weights and abdominal circumference. Mass was expressed in grams of total weight of mouse (g), Lee index was expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), the weight of RP and PG adipose tissue was expressed in milligrams and the abdominal circumference was expressed in centimeters (cm). Data show mean ± SEM. ****p < 0,0001 when compared control group vs obese group. The number of animals was: 22 control and 16 obese mice.
