ND	218.9 ± 10.83	276.1 ± 26.72	288.9 ± 29.80	0.001
ND + Vitamin D	224.6 ± 22.09	278 ± 27.38	255.9 ± 26.90	0.001
HFD	218.7 ± 13.27	403.2 ± 4.13	425.4 ± 3.71	0.001
HFD + Vitamin D	224.9 ± 13.77	399.8 ± 8.7	380.6 ± 7.80	0.001

Data are expressed as means ± SD. Statistical differences between groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test for Post Hoc analysis. Intra group comparisons of body weight were performed by repeated measure analysis. ^† P value and ^‡ P value indicated intra group and inter group differences, respectively. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
