Effect of CGA/Chromium III Supplement on Body Weight. Male BL6 mice (3 months of age) were fed a regular (RD) (squares) (n = 7 mice) or a high-fat (HF) diet (circles) (n = 23 mice) for 1 month. HF-fed mice were then subjected (dashed vertical line) to gavage treatment once daily for 3 weeks with either vehicle (water) (black circles, n = 7 mice), CGA (hatched circles, n = 8 mice) or CGA/Chromium III (CGA/Cr) (gray circles, n = 8 mice). RD-fed mice (n = 7) underwent gavage with water alone. Mice continued to have full access to the same diets during the treatment period. Body weight was measured weekly over the treatment period. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P <0.05 versus RD-water and ^†versus HF-water
