Antiobesity Effects of an Edible Halophyte Nitraria retusa Forssk in 3T3-L1 Preadipocyte Differentiation and in C57B6J/L Mice Fed a High Fat Diet-Induced Obesity

Figure 3

Effect of daily oral administration of Nitraria retusa (50 and 100 mg/kg body weight) on adipose tissue weight (a), adiposity index (b), and fat/body weight (mg/g) ratio (c) of mice fed with high-fat diet. Mice were fed normal diet (CND), high-fat diet (CHFD), high-fat diet supplemented with positive control Naringenin 10 mg/kg body weight (HFD + PC), high-fat diet supplemented with Nitraria retusa 50 mg/kg body weight (HFD + NR50), or high-fat diet supplemented with Nitraria retusa 100 mg/kg body weight (HFD + NR100) for 4 weeks. At the end of experiment, adipose tissue, for all groups, was weighed. Data represent mean ± SEM, 𝑛=8, ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.005, ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 compared to the high-fat diet group.
