Adzuki bean supplementation prevented HFD-induced obesity. (A) Representative pictures of each group taken at the end of the experiment; (B) body weight evolution; (C) 12-week weight gain; (D) the mass of perirenal white adipose tissue (Per-WAT), epididymal white adipose tissue (Epi-WAT), and retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (Retro-WAT); (E) body fat ratio; (F) total energy intake; and (G) energy efficiency. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 8 per group. ## p < 0.01, HFD compared with NCD mice. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01, HFD-AB compared with HFD mice. NCD, normal control diet; HFD, high-fat diet; HFD-AB, high-fat diet supplemented with adzuki bean.
