Fig 6. Effect of a normal or high fat diet on body weight and proportion of total fat mass estimated by micro-computed tomography in mice.

Fig 6

Mice received normal (ND) or high fat (HFD) diet for 15 weeks. Animals were weighed and the proportion of total fat mass (FM, %) was determined by micro-computed tomography (μCT) scans as described above before (T0) and at the end (T15) of the treatment period. Evolution of (a) body weight and (b) FM over time. (c) Mean increases in body weight and total FM after 15 weeks of diet. Data are represented as the mean ± standard deviation of 6 animals in each group. Differences in body weight and FM were analyzed by 2-way analysis of variance (with diet and time as factors) (GraphPad Prism 6.0 software). *: p<0.05 HFD versus ND. $: p<0.05 T15 versus T0 within the same group.
