Body weight, liver weight and food intake of mice fed a high-fat diet with or without SM.

<p>Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat (HF) diet without or with SM (HFSM) (0.3%. 0.6% or 1.2% wt/wt) and sacrificed after 4 weeks. Body and liver weights were recorded. Liver lipids were quantified as described in “<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0055949#s2" target="_blank">Methods</a>”. Values represent means±SEM. Significant differences between HF and HFSM groups were determined by one-way ANOVA:</p>*<p><i>P</i><0.05;</p>***<p><i>P</i><0.001.
