Effect of RGS5 deficiency on body weight, fat mass and adipocyte size.

A Representative photograph of WT and KO mice fed an NC and HF for 24 weeks. B Growth curves of WT (black) and KO (blank) mice fed an NC (triangle) and an HF (rhombus) (n = 8–11). C Histology of visceral adipose tissue with hematoxylin-eosin. D Mean adipocyte size of the visceral adipose tissue in WT (black) and KO (blank) mice fed an NC and an HF for 24 weeks (n = 5). E Expression levels of mRNA related to adipogenesis in the visceral fat of WT (a dotted line at value 1) and KO (black) mice fed an HF for 24 weeks (n = 6). Values represent means ± SEM. #p<0.05 and ##p<0.01 compared with WT mice fed an NC; *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 compared with WT mice fed an HF.
