P value and ‡
P value indicated intra group and inter group differences, respectively. ‡The significant difference is between ND versus ND + Vit D and HFD + Vit D, ND + Vit D versus HFD and HFD versus HFD + Vit D
- *Mean difference was calculated by subtracting the weight of 16th from weight of 21st weeks. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. n = 20 in each group
