The effects of lycopene supplementation on body weight and liver weight in groups.
| Weight | Control group (n = 10) | HFD (n =10) | HFD + 2 mg/kg lycopene (n = 9) | HFD + 4 mg/kg lycopene (n = 10) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline BW | 299,80 ± 40,29 | 297,90 ± 26,34 | 300,70 ± 30,22 | 298,20 ± 27,89 |
| Final BW | 328,30 ± 37.5 | 360,70 ± 20,58** | 364,30 ± 42,10 | 375,70 ± 34,24* |
| Liver weight (gr) | 9,41 ± 1,10 | 10,05 ± 1,38 | 9,75 ± 1,40 | 10,15 ± 1,36 |
BW: body weight, *P < .05: compared with HFD group; **P < .05: compared with control.
