Figure 1
Representative T1-weighted MRI demonstrating greater fat mass in Bbs2^–/–, Bbs4^–/–, and Bbs6^–/– mice than in wild-type littermate controls. Coronal (top) and axial abdominal (bottom) sections of wild-type and BBS mice are shown. With this pulse-sequence, fat appears white and muscle and water appear gray or black. The plus signs indicate subcutaneous fat, and the asterisks indicate visceral fat.
