Black and Yellow Soybean Consumption Prevents High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity by Regulating Lipid Metabolism in C57BL/6 Mice

Figure 3

mRNA expression levels related to (a) lipogenesis in the liver, (b) thermogenesis in the epididymal adipose tissues of C57BL/6 mice fed with a high-fat diet mixed with yellow or black soybean powders. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 8). ^(a–c)Different lowercase letters above the bars represent significant differences by Tukey’s post-hoc test ( < 0.05). ND: normal diet (13% kcal from fat); HFD: high-fat diet (60% kcal from fat); YS: high-fat diet mixed with yellow soybean powder; BS: high-fat diet mixed with black soybean powder.
