A distribution of pre- and postmean body weight, body mass index (BMI), and percentage body weight gain in each group of SD rats after they have been fed a high-fat diet for six weeks.

Groups	Mean Body Weight (g)  ± SEM		Mean BMI (g/cm 2 )  ± SEM		Percentage of Body Weight Gain (%)  Mean ± SEM
	Pre-induction	Post-induction	Pre-induction	Post-induction
Group 1  (ND)	203.6 ± 0.8	350.6 ± 3.1	0.47 ± 0.005	0.62 ± 0.006	72.2 ± 1.1
Group 2  (HFD)	201.0 ± 1.0	411.6 ± 7.7c	0.44 ± 0.008	0.72 ± 0.006c	104.8 ± 3.7c
Group 3  (HFD)	200.6 ± 1.3	443.6 ± 8.2c	0.44 ± 0.008	0.72 ± 0.01c	121.2 ± 4.6c
Group 4  (HFD)	196.0 ± 1.1	471.7 ± 5.1c	0.43 ± 0.01	0.72 ± 0.007c	140.7 ± 2.0c
Group 5  (HFD)	196.4 ± 2.6	451.1 ± 3.3c	0.43 ± 0.011	0.71 ± 0.006c	130.0 ± 4.2c
Group 6  (HFD)	196.1 ± 1.4	463.0 ± 5.5c	0.42 ± 0.008	0.73 ± 0.008c	136.1 ± 2.7c

Results are presented as means ± SEM, n = 7.

Values are statistically significant at p < 0.05.

Note: a: p<0.05 when compared to ND; b: p<0.01 when compared to ND; c: p<0.001 when compared to ND.

ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet.
