Fig 1: Glucose levels and obesity of the GHR homozygous KO pigs.(a) The levels of glucose were determined by a Glucose Assay Kit (ab65333, Abcam). The −/−, +/− (GHR+/4bp) and +/+ (GHR+/+) represent different genotypes in the F2 generation, the bars represent the means ± SD (at least three pigs per group); **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05. (b) The −/−, +/− (GHR+/4bp) and +/+ (GHR+/+) pigs at age of two months old, red arrows showed the obesity observed in homozygous KO pigs. The thick layer of abdominal fat (as shown by red circles) was observed in −/− pig (c), while no such fat layer was observed in +/− (GHR+/4bp) pig (d). The pigs in (c) and (d) were three-and-half-month-old.
