Effect of LBP on body compositions of HFD-fed mice.
| Variables | LFD | HFD | 100 LBP + HFD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial body weight (g) | 23.1 ± 0.23 | 23.8 ± 0.29 | 23.6 ± 0.23 |
| Final body weight (g) | 30.0 ± 0.46 | 44.6 ± 1.01 | 33.5 ± 1.43# |
| Water intake (mL/d/mouse) | 6.97 ± 0.16 | 8.41 ± 0.17 | 7.26 ± 0.05 |
| Abdominal circumference (cm) | 7.63 ± 0.13 | 10.83 ± 0.08 | 7.98 ± 0.14# |
| BMI (g/cm2) | 0.32 ± 0.07 | 0.58 ± 0.10 | 0.37 ± 0.09# |
| Liver weight (g) | 1.06 ± 0.04 | 2.31 ± 0.18 | 1.25 ± 0.05# |
| White fat weight (g) | 0.71 ± 0.06 | 4.40 ± 0.22 | 1.66 ± 0.08## |
| Brown fat weight (g) | 0.24 ± 0.03 | 0.09 ± 0.01 | 0.30 ± 0.05## |
Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 10 per group), # P < 0.05 and ## P < 0.01, compared to HFD group. LFD: low-fat diet; HFD: high-fat diet; 100 LBP + HFD: 100 mg/kg LBP plus high-fat diet; BMI: body mass index.
