| BMI (gcm−1) | 0.71 ± 0.04 | 0.83 ± 0.06 a | 0.72 ± 0.04 b | 0.73 ± 0.05 b |
| Total feed consumption (g) | 1822.00 ± 125.80 | 1647.00 ± 266.20 | 1560.00 ± 171.40 | 1628.00 ± 232.80 |
| Mean food consumption (g) | 21.69 ± 1.49 | 19.61 ± 3.17 | 18.57 ± 2.04 | 19.38 ± 2.77 |
| Energy intake (kcal/day) | 69.15 ± 4.77 | 101.30 ± 16.37 a | 95.91 ± 10.53 a | 100.10 ± 14.31 a |
BMI: body mass index, C: normal control, Ob: obese rats, Ob + BB: obese rat fed with high-fat diet plus bee bread (6 weeks), Ob + OR: obese rat fed with high-fat diet plus orlistat (6 weeks). Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 8/group. a p < 0.05 vs. C, b p < 0.05 vs. Ob (One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc test).
