Artemisia iwayomogi Extract Attenuates High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity by Decreasing the Expression of Genes Associated with Adipogenesis in Mice

Figure 2

Effects of Artemisia iwayomogi extract supplementation on body weight gain, food efficiency ratio, and visceral fat pad weights of mice fed with high-fat diet. Mice were fed ND, HFD, or AED for 11 weeks. Changes in (a) body weight gain, (b) final body weight, (c) food intake, (d) FER, (e), (f) visceral fat pad weights, (g) representative pictures of H&E-stained fat cells from mice epididymal adipose tissue (×100), and densitometric analysis of adipocyte diameter in epididymal tissue. Data represent mean ± SEM, . Means without a common letter differ, . FER = (body  weight  gain  for  experimental  period  (g))/(food  intake  for  experimental  period  (g)).
