| SD | HFD | HFD 40 | HFD 80 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAT weight (g) | 0.40 ± 0.07c | 2.03 ± 0.21a | 2.00 ± 0.54a | 1.41 ± 0.46b |
| Triglyceride (mg/WAT) | 5.17 ± 0.21d | 54.3 ± 1.0a | 47.9 ± 1.2b | 25.34 ± 0.28c |
| Diameter of adipose cells (μm) | 247 ± 47d | 654 ± 17a | 528 ± 35b | 364 ± 36c |
Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of 10 mice experiments. Values sharing a common letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05
