Energy intake body and tissue weights after a short-term high fat diet (HFD). Mice fed a control diet and delivery vehicle-skimmed milk in drinking water (CT), mice fed a HFD and delivery vehicle-skimmed milk in drinking water (HF), and mice fed a HFD supplemented with a suspension of 5 × 108 cfu/mouse/day of B. animalis IPLA R1 strain in skimmed milk (HF-B) added to the drinking water. CT diet (3.85 kcal/g) and HFD (5.24 Kcal/g). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Data with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 according to One-way analysis of variance statistical analysis followed by Tukey post hoc. SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue.
