Impact of the three cereal fractions on obesity, dietary intake and fat mass development. Body weight gain (a), total caloric intake (b), fat mass gain measured by NMR at days 14, 28, 35 and 49 (c), weight of visceral adipose tissue (d), weight of subcutaneous adipose tissue (e), weight of epididymal adipose tissue (f). Mice were fed a control diet (CT), a western diet (WD), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran fraction with large particles (WD+WB), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran with reduced particle size (WD+WBs) or a WD supplemented with 5% of AXOS (WD+AXOS) for 8 weeks. Results are expressed as mean±SEM (n = 7–9 for a, c–f and n = 2–3 for b). Data with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 (ANOVA).
