Body weight, skeletal muscle weight, adipose tissue mass, and plasma levels of glucose and insulin in wild-type and MsrB3 knockout (KO) mice following consumption of a control diet or high-fat diet for 12 weeks. (A) Body weight. (B) The weights of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. (C) Retroperitoneal fat mass. (D) Plasma glucose levels. (E) Plasma insulin levels. (F) Homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Skeletal muscle and fat masses are standardized based on the body weight. Results are presented as means ± SE (n = 7–9 in each group). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
