TRAMP mice (n=17/diet, 7–8 weeks old) were allowed ad libitum access for 18 weeks to one of three different diets. The diets were identical in terms of macro and micronutrients and contained 100 g/kg diet of dietary fat provided as WW, WLF (fats blended to mimic walnut fatty acid composition), or WO (pressed from same walnuts as used for WW diets). Animals were weighed, then killed, and GUI was obtained by dissection and weighed.
