From: Deletion of murine Arv1 results in a lean phenotype with increased energy expenditure
Arv1-deficient mice have reduced body weight and decreased fat mass on a chow diet. Growth curves of (WT) and Arv1 knockout (KO) mice on a chow diet for (a) males (WT n=19, KO n=16) and (b) females (WT n=15, KO n=8). Body composition was examined in chow-fed male mice at 4–6 months of age by DEXA scan (WT n=6, KO n=6); (c) bone mineral content, (d) lean mass, (e) fat mass and (f) adiposity were determined. All the values are reported as the mean±s.d. (*P<0.05).
