Modulation in body weight of exercised and BCAAs supplemented mice. Mice were weighed every weeks and an average for each group (n = 6) was recorded weekly (b). On the other hand, weight gain for each mouse was calculated by subtracting the weight at first week from the weight at 8th week (a). Sed indicates no received BCAAs and sedentary mice. Ex stands for exercised group. 20BCAA and 60BCAA groups are mice supplemented with 20 and 60 mg/mL of BCAAs respectively. 20BCAA/EX and 60BCAA/EX are exercised groups supplemented with 20 and 60 mg/mL of BCAAs respectively. As depicted the weight gain was maximal in 60BCAA group (b). Data are shown as mean ± SEM (Standard Error of Mean). ** indicates significant difference with Sed group at level of p < 0.01 at quadrant. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and tukey’s post hoc test
