Metabolic parameters of NC-fed mice. a Epididymal fat mass as a percentage of body weight in NC-fed mice. b Mean lipid droplet area of adipocytes and representative HE-stained histological sections of EpiWAT. c Inguinal fat mass as a percentage of body weight in NC-fed mice. d Mean lipid droplet area of adipocytes and representative HE-stained histological sections of IngWAT. e Serum cholesterol level. f Serum adiponectin level. g Serum leptin level. h Fasting blood glucose. i Areas under the curve (AUC) of serum glucose in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). j Fasting serum insulin. k AUC of serum insulin in the OGTT. Mice were tested after 11 weeks of intervention on day 7 of week 11. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. For each group, n = 6–7. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
