Figure Legend:
The body weight and blood glucose level are higher in the HFD mice than the controls. Male mice starting at 5 weeks of age were fed normal chow (controls) or HFD for 12 weeks. Body weight (A) and blood glucose (B) were monitored periodically. Data from (A) and (B) were from the same batch of mice (including both control and HFD mice). The glucose tolerance test (C) and insulin tolerance test (D) were performed at the end of the 12-week feeding regimen. The glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance tests were performed on two different batches of mice, and these mice were also different from (A) and (B). (E) The average visceral fat tissue from both groups is shown (in grams). Control (n = 10): 0.77 ± g; HFD (n = 8): 3.02 ± g. (F) The adiposity calculated by the ratio of visceral fat tissue to body weight from both groups is shown (in percentage). Control (n = 10): 2.94% ± 0.14%; HFD (n = 8): 7.28% ± 0.36%. The asterisk (*) indicates that there is a statistically significant difference between the control and the HFD group. *P < 0.05.
