CIE prevents HF diet-induced weight gain. C57BL/6 mice were fed a chow diet (Chow) or an HF diet alone (HF) or supplemented with 1% of CIE (HF+CIE) for 8 weeks. (a) Body weight change; (b) food intake expressed as g/day/mouse; (c) TG concentrations in fecal material; (d) TC concentrations in fecal material;  (e) epididymal WAT morphology are shown at 200x; (f) size of adipocytes. Values are expressed as means ± S.E. (n = 7; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus the HF group).
