Body, adipose tissue and organ weights in mice after 16 weeks of trehalose intake
| Water | Trehalose | Maltose | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body weight (g) | 24.6 ± 1.11 | 24.4 ± 1.20 | 24.3 ± 1.22 | |
| Adipose weight (g) | Mesenteric adipose | 0.23 ± 0.05 | 0.23 ± 0.04 | 0.21 ± 0.05 |
| Perirenal adipose | 0.15 ± 0.06 | 0.15 ± 0.05 | 0.14 ± 0.04 | |
| Retroperitoneal adipose | 0.34 ± 0.11 | 0.35 ± 0.12 | 0.31 ± 0.10 | |
| Liver (g) | 1.28 ± 0.09 | 1.27 ± 0.15 | 1.24 ± 0.07 |
Values are means ± standard deviation of 8 mice per group. There are no significant differences between the 3 groups (p < 0.05). Statistical analysis was performed by non-parametric Steel-Dwass
