Table 1. Body composition, energy balance and locomotor activity in chow-fed mice in preliminary experiment.
Bodyweight is shown for GPR55 knockout and control mice fed on chow (A), and high fat diet (B). Body weight change is shown for mice fed chow (C) or high fat diet (D). Two-way ANOVA showed no statistically significant differences between wild-type and knockout mice.
