a, Growth curves of wild-type and S6K1-/- mice on a NCD. Wild type, n = 11; S6K1-/-, n = 13. b, Weights of epididymal, inguinal and retroperitoneal adipose tissue (EWAT, IWAT and RWAT, respectively) and liver normalized by body weight (n = 6 each genotype). WT, wild type. c, Scanning electron microscopic (top) and histological analysis of epididymal WAT (bottom). Arrowheads indicate multi-locular adipocytes. Magnification for scanning microscopy and for histology are times500 and times200, respectively. Mice were 6-month-old males in b and c. d, Food intake per mouse measured over 15 days (n = 12; P = 0.8) or normalized by body weight (n = 12). e, Enhanced lipolysis in S6K1-/- adipocytes. f, Oxygen consumption (VO2) in wild-type and S6K1-/- mice fed a NCD (n = 6 each genotype). All values are given as mean plusminus s.e.m. Asterisk, P < 0.01; double asterisk, P < 0.001. Filled symbols/columns indicate wild type; open symbols/columns, S6K1-/- mice.
