Zeb2+/− mice exhibit lower fat mass. (a) Body composition of WT and Zeb2+/− mice adjusted for body weight at P35. (b) Fat mass of WT and Zeb2+/− mice, including inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), perigonadal white adipose tissue (pWAT) and mesenteric white adipose tissue (mWAT), P35. (c) H&E staining of eWAT, pWAT and mWAT from WT and Zeb2+/− mice. (d) Lipid droplet size was quantified by measuring the cross-sectional area in randomly selected adipocytes. For each sample (WT and Zeb2+/− mice), we analyzed four randomly chosen fields of view, with 10 adipocytes measured per field.
