Figure 1 Effects of probiotic treatment on food intake (A), body weight gain (B), epididymal fat mass (C) and liver mass (D) in high-fructose diet-fed rats. Results are expressed as mean ± SE. ^bP < 0.01 vs chow control by unpaired Student’s t-test; ^ABBars with different capital letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests. HP: High dose probiotic; HF: High fructose diet; LP: Low dose probiotic; BW: Body weight.
