From: Bamboo shoot fiber prevents obesity in mice by modulating the gut microbiota
Bamboo shoot fiber prevented body weight gain in C57 BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet for 6 weeks.
Evolution of body weight gain of mice on (a) different dietary fibers, (b) or fiber mixes with different proportions of bamboo shoot fiber with inulin. (c) Relative body weight gain at week 6. Data are expressed as the percentage of body weight gain relative to the initial body weight (%). LF, low fat diet; High-fat diets with 10% fiber: cellulose (HFC), wheat fiber (HFW), soybean fiber (HFS), inulin (HFI), bamboo shoot fiber (HFBS), and mixed bamboo shoot fiber and inulin with ratios of 2:1 (HFBSI33), 3:1 (HFBSI25), and 9:1 (HFBSI10). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of fifteen mice. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, vs. mice fed LF diet. #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001, vs. mice fed HFC diet.
