Table 1 Body weight gain, food intake and other parameters (mean±SD) in mice fed a USO, HSO or PSO diet

From: A diet containing soybean oil heated for three hours increases adipose tissue weight but decreases body weight in C57BL/6 J mice

EWAT PPARγ protein (PPARγ/GAPDH)

  1. USO=Unheated soybean oil diet; HSO=Heated soybean oil diet; PSO=Pair-fed to HSO with USO. Differences between the three groups were compared with one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni pair wise comparisons. Mean values within a row, with different superscripts of the alphabet, are significantly different from one another. N=8 per group for all the parameters except for food intake. Mice were housed at 2-3/cage and so n=3 for food intake (p≤0.05).
