Table 1.. Mean body weight, intra-abdominal fat volume, and intra-abdominal fat area in three mouse strains differing in body composition

	Mouse strain
Variable	A-ZIP/F (minimal fat)	C57BL/6 (lean)	Lep^ob (obese)	p
Mice (N)	3	5	5
Replicate measures (N)^*	8	15	13
Mass (g)	25.1^b ^† (0.8)^‡	20.2^a (0.6)	55.7^c (0.7)	<0.0001
Fat volume (L)	176^a (202)	723^b (148)	12,822^c (159)	<0.0001
Fat area (mm²)^§	7.0^a (13)	38^b (9)	642^c (10)	<0.0001

^* Replicate evaluations were performed on each mouse group member. Number indicates total measures made from all mice in the case of each parameter: mass, volume, area.

^† Letters appear in rank order by row, with lowest value indicated by ^a, highest value by ^c. Superscript letters indicate means that are significantly different, based on Tukey's honestly significant difference test on natural log-transformed values for all measurements taken from body weight or images.

^‡ Values in parentheses represent 1 standard error, untransformed.

^§ Intra-abdominal fat area at the level of the fourth to fifth lumbar vertebrae.
