Short-term high-fat high-sucrose metabolic challenge induces alterations in body composition and body mass.
(A) Body fat increases at 7-days on a high-fat high-sucrose (HFS) metabolic challenge, and is sustained over 28-days of feeding compared to chow-fed controls. (B) Body mass, however, doesn’t increase significantly until 14-days on HFS metabolic challenge compared to chow-fed control animals. Raw data are shown, *indicates p ≤ 0.05 compared to chow-fed controls.
