Figure 1. Body weight over 12 weeks A) Diet-induced obesity in mice treated with a High Fat Diet (HFD) and the comparison with standard diet (SD), n=14 on each group. B) Weekly body weight change, C) Cumulative feed intake in g and kcal and D) Feed efficiency under cactus treatment of groups of mice fed with standard diet (SD), standard-diet with cactus flour (SD-CF), high fat diet (HFD) and high fat diet with cactus flour (HFD-CF); n=7 in each group. Two-way ANOVA (repeated measures for A and B) and one-way ANOVA (for C and D) followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test.
