Diet affects the metabolic parameters. Three-week-old female BALB/c mice were placed on either a control, high-sucrose, lard diet, coconut oil (CO) diet, flaxseed oil + lard diet, or a safflower oil + lard diet for ten weeks. A, Mouse weight. B, Body weight at the end of the study. C, Food consumption. D, Calorie consumption. E, Visceral adipose weight (gonadal fat pad). F, Mammary gland weight (L4/5 mammary gland). G, Blood glucose curves. H, Glucose area under the curve. I, Mammary gland representative images. J, Mammary gland adipocyte area. 100 adipocytes measured per image; *, P < 0.05; n = 5 per group.
