eWAT weight (g) 0.795 ± 0.067 0.866 ± 0.036 n.s
Liver triacylglycerol (mg g-1 liver) 52.7 ± 3.30 66.1 ± 3.02 0.007
Muscle triacylglycerols (mg g-1 muscle) 17.9 ± 1.61 22.9 ± 1.67 0.045
Serum aspartate transaminase activity (μM s-1) 0.69 ± 0.06 1.07 ± 0.12 0.009

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 11 for HFpu and n = 12 for HFs). All parameters were measured after 27 weeks of HFpu or HFs feeding and when mice were in a fasted state. The cumulative feed intake is calculated from the total feed intake between week 4 and week 27. eWAT weight represents the weight of the right epididymal WAT depot only. n.s. non-significant.
