(a,b) Growth curves of (a) male and (b) female wild-type and Wps mice (n=7–11). (c,d) Body compositions of 10-month-old (c) male and (d) female wild-type and Wps mice are shown (n=7–11). (e,f) Blood serum levels of (e) TG and (f) FFAs from overnight-fasted male mice (n=7–8). (g) Glucose tolerance test (GTT) of 6-month-old male mice (n=7–8). (h) Insulin tolerance test (ITT) of 6-month-old male mice (n=7–8). (i) Blood insulin levels of overnight-fasted and glucose-injected (i.p.) mice (n=3). Data are shown as mean±s.e.m. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 by two-tailed Student’s t-test (a,b,e–h) or one-way ANOVA followed with a Bonferroni’s post hoc test (c,d).
