Body weight and adipose tissue mass of male WT and NMU KO rats fed normal chow. (A) Representative appearance of WT and KO rats (littermates) at 16 weeks of age. (B) Growth curve of WT and KO rats from 4 to 24 weeks of age (n = 15). (C) Percentage of the liver mass content in WT and KO rats (WT n = 16 KO n = 10). (D) Percentage of the visceral fat mass content in WT and KO rats (WT n = 19 KO n = 10). (E) Representative photographs of HE-stained liver sections of WT and KO rats. Scale bar: 100 µm. (F) Representative photographs of HE-stained sections of epididymal adipose tissue and the cell count per section (n = 3). Scale bar: 100 µm. (G) Representative photographs of HE-stained sections of perirenal adipose tissue and the cell count per section (n = 3). Scale bar: 100 µm. All data represent means ± SEM.
