Anti-adipogenic and anti-obesity activities of purpurin in 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells and in mice fed a high-fat diet

Table 1 Effect of purpurin on weight gain, food uptake, and food efficiency ratio

	Standard diet (SD)	High-fat diet (HFD)	HFD, 40 mg/kg purpurin	HFD, 80 mg/kg purpurin
Weight gain (g/mouse)	7.59	25.49	19.49	15.72
Food uptake (g/day mouse)	3.00 ± 0.17^a	2.47 ± 0.19^b	2.49 ± 0.17^b	2.32 ± 0.16^c
Food efficiency ratio	3.61	14.72	11.19	9.69

Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of 10 mice experiments. Values sharing a common letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05
