Figure 1

(a) Systolic blood pressure of mice subjected to different diets. ND, normal diet; FD, fat diet; HAP, healthy apple peel; SDAP, sun damaged apple peel; DAP, dehydrated apple peel. Statistical significance: ^∗, ^∗∗∗ versus normal diet. Statistical significance: ^&, ^&&& versus fat diet. All groups have a minimum of 4 mice. (b) Average insulinemia in mice fed with different diets. Statistical significance: ^∗, ^∗∗ versus normal diet. Statistical significance: ^& versus fat diet. All groups have a minimum of 4 individuals. (c) Serum ADMA of mice fed with different diets. ^∗∗, ^∗∗∗ versus normal diet. Statistical significance: ^& versus fat diet. All groups have a minimum of 4 individuals.
