Figure 2. Body mass composition in young and old WT, Tg, and Ghrl KO mice. (A) Total body weight in 3-month old (young), 6-month old (adult), 12-month old (middle aged), and 24-month old (old) mice. (B) Epidydimal fat mass normalized to nose-to-anus length (NAL) and (C) gastrocnemius weight normalized to the tibial length (TL). Young mice: WT = 6, Tg = 7, Ghrl KO = 5; adult mice: WT = 7, Tg = 4, Ghrl KO = 5; middle aged: WT = 5, Tg = 6, Ghrl KO = 9; old mice: WT= 13, Tg= 14, Ghrl KO = 11. Data in bar graphs are presented as mean ± SEM. For each box plot, the lower and up boundaries denote the 25^th and the 75^th percentile of each data set, respectively, the horizontal line represents the median, and the whiskers represent the min and max of values. *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 vs. young mice; ^£p<0.05 and ^££p<0.01 vs. adult mice; ^#p<0.05 and ^##p<0.01 vs. middle aged mice; ^$p<0.05 and ^$$p<0.01 Tg and Ghrl KO vs. WT.
