Food intake (g/day) and food efficiency ratio (FER) in CND, CHFD, HFD + PC, HFD + NR50, and HFD + NR100 groups for 4 weeks.

	CND	CHFD	HFD + PC	HFD + NR50	HFD + NR100
Food intake (g)	3.25±0.10	3.12±0.10	3.00±0.10	3.25±0.20	3.06±0.10
Food efficiency ratio (FER)	1.26±0.07	2.70±0.10	2.42±0.20	1.60±0.07^∗∗∗	1.56±0.10^∗∗∗

Data represent the mean ± SEM, ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001, when compared to the CHFD group (𝑛=8 per group).
CND: control normal diet fed group.
CHFD: control high-fat diet fed group.
HFD + PC: high-fat diet + positive control (Naringenin 10 mg/kg body weight).
HFD + NR50: high-fat diet + Nitraria retusa 50 mg/kg body weight.
HFD + NR100: high-fat diet + Nitraria retusa 100 mg/kg body weight.
