Figure 4From: Dietary supplementation with phytosterol and ascorbic acid reduces body mass accumulation and alters food transit time in a diet-induced obesity mouse modelFood transit time of age-matched C57Bl/6 mice after an acute (72-hour) and chronic (18 week) exposure to a high fat diet with or without ascorbic acid or phytosterol supplements. 4a) Acute exposure to dietary supplements did not alter food transit time when compared to the high fat control (n = 7; ANOVA). 4b) Animals chronically exposed to PS and PSAA supplements exhibited significant differences in transit time of a HF meal when compared to the HF control (ANOVA with post hoc Tukey Test; n = 7 for HF and AA; n = 3 for PS, n = 4 for PSAA).Back to article page
