growth/size/body
N |
• mice exhibit normal body weight at 4 and 10 weeks after birth
|
• on a normal chow diet, mice have body fat contents at 24.4%, 23.6% and 22.7% of their respective body weights, compared with 13.2%, 10.0% and 8.6% of body weights from wild-type controls at 28, 37 and 45 weeks, respectively
• after feeding high-fat diet for 10 weeks, % of fat mass increases to 27.8% relative to 17.8% in similarly fed wild-type controls
|
• on a normal chow diet, mice have lean mass contents at 68.7%, 68.9% and 69.5% compared with 80.1%, 82.9% and 84.5% in wild-type mice at 28, 37 and 45 weeks, respectively
• after feeding high-fat diet for 10 weeks, % of lean mass is significantly lower than that in similarly fed wild-type controls
|
• after feeding high-fat diet for 6weeks, adult mice show significantly higher body weight than similarly fed wild-type controls
|
• on a normal chow diet, mice develop mild mature-onset obesity with higher fat content and lower lean mass relative to wild-type controls
|
• mice develop more severe obesity after feeding high-fat diet for 14 weeks
|
adipose tissue
