**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (one‐way anova); † P < 0.05, †† P < 0.01, ††† P < 0.001 vs. the control group; ‡ P < 0.05 vs. the HF group (Bonferroni's multiple comparison test). (n = 2 groups for food intake, fluid intake and caloric intake, n = 6 rats for fat weight and fat index, n = 10–12 rats for body weight).
