Mas deletion led to increased visceral adipose tissue mass and adipose leptin in mice. A Image depicting SCAT and EAT from WT and Mas KO mice. B Weight of VAT. C Weight of SCAT. D MRI analysis of VAT and SCAT. Representative images for VAT and SCAT. E Relative value of the proportion of VAT volume. F Relative value of the proportion of SCAT volume. G Relative value of VSR. H Levels of TC in EAT. I Levels of TG in EAT. J Levels of leptin in EAT. K Levels of adiponectin in EAT. Data represents mean ± SD from n = 3–5. *p < 0.05 versus WT group. WT, wild-type; KO, knock out; SCAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; EAT, epididymal adipose tissue; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; TFV, total white fat volume; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; VSR, visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides
