Group Body weight (g) White adipose tissue (g) Body fat mass (%)
Before treatment After treatment Weight gain
CON 26.10 ± 0.58a 30.62 ± 0.48a 4.52 ± 0.31a 1.48 ± 0.10a 4.85 ± 0.34a
HF 34.30 ± 1.39b 48.35 ± 1.55b 14.05 ± 0.81b 3.86 ± 0.16c 8.18 ± 0.41b
L 31.92 ± 1.78b 46.43 ± 3.04b 14.52 ± 1.41b 3.25 ± 0.26b 7.64 ± 0.62b

Values are mean ± SEM and n = 6 for each group. The significance was tested by ANOVA with Duncan’s test for multiple comparisons. Values with the same superscript letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05)

CON, normal control diet-fed mice; HF, high-fat diet-fed control; L, low-dose mulberry leaf extract (133 mg/kg)-treated high-fat diet-fed mice; H, high-dose mulberry leaf extract (666 mg/kg)-treated high-fat diet-fed mice
