The whole bodyweight, liver and adipose tissues were measured after 12 weeks from the initial point (n=6–9). The indicators for the serum analysis were measured by the blood analyzer. The data are represented as the mean±SD and analyzed in a comparison with the HFD group.

ND, control group with a normal chow diet; HFD, positive control group with a high-fat diet; Xen, negative control group treated with Xenical; LGG, receiving Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG mixed with a high-fat diet; 299v, receiving Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain 299v mixed with a high-fat diet; KC3, receiving L. plantarum strain KC3 mixed with a high-fat diet; EAT, epidydimal adipose tissue; MAT, mesenteric adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; TG, triacyl-glyceride; LDLC, low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
