Mice were treated with chow diet (C), Chow + Taurine (C + T), High-fat diet (HFD) or HFD + Taurine (HFD + T) for 10 weeks. (A) Body weight progression from the first day of taurine treatment until the 10^th week of treatment in mice fed with chow or HFD. (n = 8–10 mice per group). Differences between C vs HFD (*P < 0.05); HFD vs HFD+T (^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01). (B) Visceral fat weight after 10 weeks of taurine treatment in mice fed with chow or HFD. Differences between C vs HFD (*P < 0.05); HFD vs HFD+T (^#P < 0.05). (n = 8–10 mice per group). (C) Food intake progression from the first week until the 10th week of treatment. Differences between C vs HFD *P < 0.05. **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001. Differences between HFD vs HFD+T (^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.001). (D) Food intake at 10^th week of treatment during the light and dark cycle. Food was measured by weighing the food consumption separately during the day (from 8:00 to 20:00) and the food consumption during the night (from 20:00 to 8:00). Differences between C vs HFD (***P < 0.001); and HFD vs HFD+T (^##P < 0.01). (E) Water Intake at 10^th week of treatment. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
