Comparison of body weight, body fat, glucose tolerance and insulin resistance among NCco, NCAa, HFco and HFAa mice. (A) Photographs of Micro-CT imaging. Yellow region represents visceral fat area and orange region represents subcutaneous fat area; (B) Body weight. (C) The volume of fat area, (D) the volume of visceral fat area and (E) the volume of subcutaneous fat area evaluated by Micro-CT imaging (n = 5). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (F) OGTT (1 g/kg) and (G) ITT (1 U/kg) performed 6 h fasting at 6 weeks (n = 9–12). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 NCco vs NCAa, †P < 0.05, ††P < 0.01 HFco vs HFAa.
