A) Average body weight and SD of the young mice in the regular diet group (RD), High-fat diet (HF), or High fat diet with LIV treatment (HFv), at each week of the short-term study. Both HF and HFv groups become significantly heavier than RD over the duration of the study, with HF body weight not being significantly different from HFv (n=10 mice per group) B) Average body weight and SD of the older mice in the RD, HF, and HFv groups at each week of the 6 month protocol. Again, HF and HFv are significantly heavier than RD, for a large duration of the study with HF body weight not being statistically different from HFv (RD, n=7; HF, n=7; HFv, n=10).
