Figure 3

The effects of KA supplementation on food intake, energy intake, and body weight in HFD mice. (a) Classification information for each group. (b) Food intake of per mouse for 1, 2, and 8 weeks ( for NC, HFD, and SV groups; for KAL and KAH groups). (c) Energy intake of per mouse for 1, 2, and 8 weeks, which was calculated from (b). (d) Food intake of per mouse for each day ( for NC, HFD, and SV groups; for KAL and KAH groups). (e) Energy intake of per mouse for each day, which was calculated from (d). (f) Increase in body weight ( for NC, HFD, and SV groups; for KAL and KAH groups). (g) Body weight gain for 8 weeks, which was extracted from (f). KA supplementation reduced food intake, energy intake, and increase in body weight for HFD mice. Data were represented as . , , and vs. NC mice. #, ##, and ### vs. HFD mice.
