Effect of FAVA on body weight, food intake, and white fat pad in mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. (a) Changes in body weight gain at each treatment period are shown: (circle) CHOW: chow diet; (black triangle) HFD: high-fat diet; (red triangle) HFD + ORLISTAT: high-fat diet plus orlistat 60 mg/kg; and (green triangle) HFD + FAVA: high-fat diet plus FAVA 200 mg/kg. (b) Average food intake expressed as kcal/mouse/day. ((c)–(e)) Epididymal fat pad (c), mesenteric fat pad (d), and subcutaneous fat pad (e) weights expressed. The values represent the mean ± standard error of mean (SEM) ( and versus the CHOW group; , , and versus the HFD group, per group).
