Figure 1. Liquid sucrose consumption promotes weight gain and increases in both lean and fat mass in male C57BL/6J mice.

Figure 1

C57BL/6J male mice were administered either water (grey) or 30% sucrose (black) in their drinking water. Body weight (A), lean mass (C), and fat mass (E) were measured during the study period. Cumulative weight (B), lean mass (D), and fat mass (F) gained were calculated for both the water and 30% sucrose groups. Adipose tissue (eWAT ) weight after four weeks on sucrose (G) and body length at necropsy (H) were measured. Data are shown as means ± SEM. n = 8 per group. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 versus respective controls.
