Gonadal adipose stores in wild-type (+/+) and PPARβ-null (−/−) micea
| Genotype | Sex | Body wt (g) | Amt of adipose tissue (% body wt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| +/+ | Male | 27.3 ± 0.8 | 1.26 ± 0.15 |
| −/− | Male | 24.7 ± 0.8* | 1.16 ± 0.16 |
| +/+ | Female | 21.2 ± 0.6 | 1.56 ± 0.36 |
| −/− | Female | 17.2 ± 0.8* | 1.02 ± 0.09* |
a
Relative amount of gonadal adipose tissue is weight in grams divided by body weight in grams times 100. A total of five mice per group, 8 weeks of age, were examined. ∗, significantly different from wild-type control (P < 0.05 by one-way analysis of variance).
