Figure Lengend Snippet: Viral overexpression of human asprosin results in increased appetite and body weight gain in lean mice (A and B) cumulative food intake and body weight change were measured 15- and 18-days after 12-week-old, male, C57Bl/6 mice were tail-vein-injected with Ad5-empty or Ad5-h FBN1 (3.6 × 10 9 pfu/mouse) viral vector. (C and D) Cumulative food intake and body weight change were measured 47 days and 60 days after 12-week-old, male, C57Bl/6 mice were tail-vein-injected with AAV8-empty or AAV8-IL2sp-6His-Asprosin (1 × 10 12 GC/mouse) viral vector. Asterisk (∗) indicate the range of alpha; ∗ p<0.05, ∗∗ p<0.01, ∗∗∗ p<0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p<0.0001, as determined by student T-test. Data presented as mean ± SEM.
