Body weight and adiposity are reduced in CD44-deficient male mice. Wild type (B6 and C3H) and CD44-deficient (CD44.B6 and CD44.C3H) mice were fed a high fat, high sucrose, high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks. A to C Body weight and percent lean and fat mass were measured throughout diet treatment. Final body weight (D), percent lean mass of body weight (E), and percent fat mass of body weight (F). Data are mean ± SE (n = 12–15). Bars labeled with different letters are P < 0.05 by ANOVA
