Figure Lengend Snippet: Glucose tolerance test in control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− females on HFD ( a ) and LFD ( b ), fasting for 16 h, and quantification of the area under the curve (AUC) ( c ), panels shown as mean ± SEM, control LFD n = 9, Ad-Tmem120a −/− LFD n = 8, control HFD n = 9, Ad-Tmem120a −/− n = 9. d Insulin tolerance test in control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− females on LFD vs HFD, fasting for 6 h, shown as mean ± SEM, control LFD n = 7, Ad-Tmem120a −/− LFD n = 6, control HFD n = 9, Ad-Tmem120a −/− n = 6. Blood biochemistry. Fasting serum insulin ( e ), fasting leptin ( f ), high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin ( g ), NEFA—nonestrified fatty acids ( h ), and triglycerides levels ( i ) in control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− females on LFD vs HFD, fasting for 16 h, shown as mean ± SEM, control LFD n = 4, Ad-Tmem120a −/− LFD n = 3, control HFD n = 4, Ad-Tmem120a −/− n = 4. j Representative images of haematoxylin and eosin-stained liver sections from control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− female mice on HFD, scale bars: 40 µm. k Quantification of lipid droplet size in liver form control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− females on HFD, the sizes of the lipid droplets were assigned to size bins and are shown as frequency, area in µm2, shown as mean ± SEM, control HFD n = 9, Ad-Tmem120a −/− n = 9. l Mean daily water intake by control and Ad-Tmem120a −/− females after 10 weeks on HFD, shown as mean ± SEM, (for each group n = 4), P values: by unpaired, two-sided Student’s t test.
