  1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical differences between groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test for Post Hoc analysis. Intra group comparisons of body weight were performed by repeated measure analysis
  2. HFD high fat diet, ND normal diet
  3. P value and P value indicated intra group and inter group differences respectively. The significant difference in comparison of the weight of 16th week was between ND versus HFD and HFD + Vit D, ND + Vit D versus HFD and HFD + Vit D and HFD versus ND. Whereas in comparison of weight of 21st week between groups all of the inter group comparisons were significant. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. N = 20 in each group
