  1. Data are least-squared means ± SE at 13 weeks of age. n, number of mice. Data were analyzed with a linear model (see Materials and Methods) and fat pad weights were not adjusted for lean body weight. Total fat pad weight is the sum of the three fat pad weights. Adiposity index was calculated by dividing total fat pad weight by body weight. The mean with stars (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001) within the same sex is significantly different from that of B6 (Dunnett's test).
