Fig 1. Increase in body and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) weight and the development of insulin resistance with advanced age.

Fig 1

The body and epididymal VAT (eVAT) weights (A), results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and insulin tolerance test (ITT) (B) were compared between young and aged wild-type (WT) mice fed normal diet (ND) (10-week-old and 100-week-old, respectively) (n = 6–8 animals in each group). (C) Serum levels of insulin, adiponectin, and leptin were compared between young and aged WT mice fed a normal diet (ND) (10-week-old and 100-week-old, respectively) (n = 6–8 animals in each group). *P < 0.05; NS: not significant. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM.
