From: Bamboo shoot fiber prevents obesity in mice by modulating the gut microbiota
Bamboo shoot fiber reduced fat mass accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
(a) Representative photographs of mice. The weight of white adipose tissue (WAT): (b) subcutaneous, (c) parametrical, (d) perirenal, and (e) mesenteric. (f) Adipocyte morphology was assessed by H&E staining (200×). (g) Daily food intake. (h) Daily energy intake. (i) Food efficiency. LF, low fat diet; HFC, high-fat diet with cellulose; HFBS, high-fat diet with bamboo shoot fiber. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (eight mice for each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, vs. mice fed LF diet. ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001, vs. mice fed HFC diet.
