Figure 2. Effects of d-malate supplementation on growth and metabolism of mice.

Figure 2

(A, B) Body weight gain (A) and accumulative food intake (B) in C57BL/6 male mice during 2% d-malate treatment for 10 weeks (n = 8 for each group). (C) Body composition in C57BL/6 male mice after 8 weeks d-malate treatment by a nuclear magnetic resonance system (n = 8 for each group). (D) Serum d-malate concentration in C57BL/6 male mice after 10 weeks 2% d-malate treatment (n = 8 for each group). (EL) O2 consumption (E, F), respiratory quotient (G, H), energy expenditure (I, J), locomotor activity (K, L) in C57BL/6 male mice fed after 4 weeks 2% d-malate treatment (n = 8 for each group). Data information: t test was used in this figure where error bars represent SEM, and *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. Source data are available online for this figure.
