Fischer 344 rats supplemented with cherry (CH) lyophilizate or vehicle (VH) on long-day (LD) and short-day (SD) photoperiods. Adiposity index was computed as the sum of epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT), mesenteric white adipose tissue (MWAT), inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT), and retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RWAT) deposit weights and expressed as a percentage of total body weight. BAT, interscapular brown adipose tissue. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) and the four groups were compared with one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) followed by a Duncan’s new multiple range test (MRT) post hoc test. abc Mean values with unlike letters differ significantly among groups.
