| NO | Weight gain in gm (8-week-old) | Weight gain in gm (46-week-old) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C57BL/6 male mice2 | Pre-Feeding | Post-Feeding | Pre-Feeding | Post-Feeding | |
| 1 | Control Diet (CD) | 21.43 ± 2.25a (100)3 | 27.54 ± 2.56b (129)3 | 30.32 ± 2.63a (100)3 | 37.31 ± 3.46b (123)3 |
| 2 | CD + Quercetin (100 ppm) | 22.72 ± 2.42a (100) | 27.92 ± 2.37b (123) | 28.47 ± 2.52a (100) | 36.62 ± 3.76b (129) |
| 3 | CDA + δ-Tocotrienol (100 ppm) | 20.25 ± 2.26a (100) | 26.42 ± 2.51b (130) | 30.33 ± 2.64a (100) | 37.32 ± 3.38b (123) |

1Each compound (200 mg or 20 mg) was dissolved in ethanol (100 mL) and mixed with powder commercial diet (2 kg).
2Data are means ± SD, n = 3 mice per group.
3Percentage of gain in weight in each group compared to respective control group are in parenthesis.
a-bValues in a row not sharing a common superscript letter are significantly different at P < 0.05.
