Effects of CA on hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and inflammation in HFD mice. CA affected body weight (a), white adipose (b), blood glucose (c), serum TC (d), TG (e), HDL-C (f), LDL-C (g), and serum inflammatory cytokines (h) in HFD-fed mice. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: in the ND group, mice were fed with a ND and received 0.9% NaCl solution. In the HFD group, mice were fed with a HFD diet and received 0.9% NaCl solution. In the two HFD+CA groups, mice were fed with a HFD and received 15 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg of CA once daily by oral gavage. Data represent the mean ± SEM, n = 8 per group. ⁺⁺⁺p < 0.001 vs. ND group. ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01, and ^∗∗∗p < 0.001 vs. HFD group.
