Anthropometric and metabolic analyses. (a) Evolution of body mass, (b) sum of white adipose tissue deposits, (c) caloric intake, and (d) water intake during obesity induction (0-120 days) and treatment (120-180 days) periods. During the 60 days of treatment (120-180 days), the obese mice received water (HFD-CT), simvastatin (30 mg.kg^-1 body weight, HFD-Simv), or EBSp (400 mg.kg^-1 body mass, HFD-EBSp).
