Fig. 4 Changes in body composition at 14 weeks after weight implantation in male
and female mice relative to initial body composition. (A) Relative changes in
fat mass. There was a significant gender effect on changes in fat mass
(P=0.046). (B) Relative changes in lean body mass. SO, sham-operated
mice (white bars); LO, mice containing implants corresponding to 2% of body
mass (grey bars); HI, mice containing implants corresponding to 10% of body
mass (black bars). Data (%) are expressed relative to values measured at
weight implantation, and are means ± S.E.M., N
(male/female): SO (7/5), LO (9/7), HI (7/7).
P=0.052 vs. SO (Dunett's-test).
