Evaluation of Beneficial Metabolic Effects of Berries in High-Fat Fed C57BL/6J Mice

Figure 1

Body weight and composition after 13 weeks of high-fat diet and berry supplementation. (a) Weekly body weight registration. Statistical comparisons of body weight compared to control were made using a two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post test. The stars represent significant differences in body weight at the last time point of weight registration before ending the study. Body fat (b) and lean body mass (c) were recorded using DEXAscan technique at week 13 of the study. (d) Epididymal white adipose tissue weight related to lean body mass after 13 weeks on the different diets (𝑛=11-12). Values represent mean ± SEM, 𝑛=12 mice/group. Mean values significantly different from the control are denoted with ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 or ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001.
