Fig. 3From: JAZF1 heterozygous knockout mice show altered adipose development and metabolismJAZF1-Het mice showed a lower adipose tissue fat mass. JAZF1-Het (Het) and JAZF1-Cont (Cont) mice were fed with ND for 8 weeks starting at 8-week-old. a Relative JAZF1 mRNA expression in several tissues (eWAT, scWAT, liver, pancreas, BAT, and muscle) in JAZF1-Het and JAZF1-Cont mice (8-week-old, nĀ =Ā 5). After 8 weeks of ND feeding, b PPercent of organs weight (eWAT, scWAT, BAT, and liver) were measured to total body weight (nĀ =Ā 5). c Whole-body composition analysis was performed by micro-CT in JAZF1-Het and JAZF1-Cont mice. Green areas represent subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) mass; the red area represents visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass. SAT and VAT masses are presented as percentages to total body volume mass (nā=ā5). d Lean mass is presented as a percentage of total body volume massĀ āĀ total adipose tissue mass (nā=ā5). e H&E staining of eWAT and scWAT in JAZF1-Het and JAZF1-Cont mice fed with ND for 8 weeks.

Mean adipocyte diameter was also quantified by the calculation of each single adipocyte diameter (right panel). The diameters in eWAT and scWAT were quantified in three random images from each mouse (nā=ā6).
