From: Glucocorticoid receptor signaling in ventral tegmental area neurons increases the rewarding value of a high-fat diet in mice

Figure 5

Body components and glucose metabolism were not affected by glucocorticoid receptor signaling in either dopaminergic neurons or corticostriatal neurons. (A–F) Epidydimal fat pad weights (A,D), brown adipose tissue weights (B,E), and blood glucose levels (C,F) of D-KO and WT mice at the age of 16 weeks (A–C, males, n = 7–9 for each: D–F, females, n = 7–12 for each). No significant differences in those parameters were found in either male or female mice. (G–L) Epidydimal fat pad weights (G,J), brown adipose tissue weights (H,K), and blood glucose levels (I,L) of CS-KO and WT mice at the age of 16 weeks (G-I, males, n = 9–11 for each: (J–L) females, n = 7–8 for each). No significant differences were found in those parameters in either male or female mice. All values are mean ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed using unpaired t test.
