BAT, brown adipose tissue; G1, Normal; G2, High-fat diet (HFD) alone; G3, HFD+HCA(hydroxycitric acid); G4, HFD + 1% MYE(Mulberry leaf + yacon); G5, HFD + 3% MYE (mulberry leaf + yacon); G6, HFD + 5% MYE (mulberry leaf + yacon). Each value represents the mean ± S.D. (n = 10 per group)

a,bSignificantly different from normal (P<0.05, 0.01). c,dSignificantly different from HFD alone (P<0.05, 0.01)
