Data are presented as and analyzed with ANOVA and post hoc Duncan’s multiple range tests (). LFD: mice fed with low-fat diet; HFD: mice fed with high-fat diet; OC: mice fed with orlistat; BLA: mice fed with HFD plus BLA at doses of 200 mg/kg food; BBA: mice fed with HFD plus BBA at doses of 200 mg/kg food. The means marked with superscript letters are significantly different relative to others.
