Effects of KRG on body weight and food intake. Food intake and body weight was measured daily for 5 weeks in HRM-2 mice. (A) No significant weight changes were observed in the control and treatment groups. (B) Daily food intake was significantly higher in the positive control and KRG-treated groups (N= HRM-2 control mice, UVB-C = control UVB-irradiated group, SB = 0.01% sunblock, K1= KRG 150mg/kg, and K2= KRG 300mg/kg). The values are expressed as the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. ***p < 0.001 compared with UVB control. HRM-2 N = normal mice, UVB-C= HRM-2 mice control, exposed to UVB.
