Energy balance and inflammatory cytokines. Energy balance was determined by analysis of body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, and food intake in the mice. A: Body weight. B: Body fat. C: Body lean mass. D: Food intake. Data represent average food intake over 3 days in the metabolic cage at 14 weeks on HFD. E: Energy expenditure. The test was performed after 4 weeks on HFD, and the data were normalized with body lean mass. F: Body weight on chow diet. G: Plasma cytokines in nonfasted mice. H: Plasma cytokines in overnight-fasted mice. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 9–12).
