Body weight and food intake were measured once a week. After 16 weeks of the experimental protocol, 6 hr fasted mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and killed by cervical dislocation after blood collection through puncturing the orbital plexus. Blood samples were centrifuged at 1,200 g for 20 min at 4°C and serum was stored at −80°C. Adipose fat depots (ING and RP) were harvested, weighed, and processed as described below.
