Effect of CDCArg on mice weight, testicular adipose tissue weight, fecal fat and plasma serum albumin. Treatments: Mice were fed with LFD for 14 weeks or with HFD for 10 weeks. At week 10 the HFD group was divided randomly into two equal groups that were pair fed. One group received HFD, while the other group received HFD + CDCArg. (A) Mice weight as measured during the experiment at the beginning of each week. * p < 0.05, lower weight compared to HFD. (B) Weight of adipose testicular tissue. (C) Feces fat percent (week 13): Total lipids were extracted from feces using Folch’s method after collecting feces during this week. Mean with *is statistically higher than HFD group, p < 0.05. n = 6, t-test. (D) Serum albumin levels in treated mice. *p < 0.05. t-test.
