Effects of DADS on body weight and fat weight of ApoE^−/− mice fed a Western diet for 12 weeks. a Average body weights of mice over time (left panel) and average body weight gain at the end of the experiment (right panel). Black circles indicate Western type diet fed mice, and open circles indicate DADS-supplemented mice. b Total food intake of the mice during the experiment (left panel) and average food efficiency ratio of the mice (right panel). The food efficiency ratio was calculated from the body weight gain and food intake. c The percent liver weight and d fat weight, AF, abdominal WAT; EF, epididymal WAT; BF, brown fat. Black bars indicate the WD group, and open bars indicate the DADS group. The data are presented as the mean ± SE (n = 10 per group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, Student’s t-test
