Updates have been made to the Abstract (p. 32) and Methods (p. 34). The Results in abstract has been revised to show the sex and the entire number of experimental animals. The reason why male rats were selected for the current study has been explained in Methods. The original version of the article can be found at https://doi.org/10.7570/jomes20097.
The Methods of the abstract has been revised to read:
The subsection of “Animals and experimental groups” in the Methods has been revised to read:
Zucker lean rats (Lean fa/+) and Zucker fatty (ZF) rats (fa/fa) (male, 5 weeks) were purchased from RaonBio (Yongin, Korea). The experimental groups were as follows: (1) a Zucker lean vehicle group (ZL, n=5); (2) a ZF vehicle group (ZF, n=5); and (3) a ZF+50 mg/kg WEAA group (ZF+WEAA, n=5). Food (Teklad certified global 18% protein rodent diet 2918C; Teklad, Envigo, Indianapolis, IN, USA) and water were provided ad libitum. Oral administration of vehicle or WEAA was started on the day after separation into groups and regularly performed once a day for 11 weeks. Body weight and food intake were checked once a week. Body fat mass was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (InAlyzer; Medikors, Hovedstaden, Denmark) after the animals were anesthetized with isoflurane. Fat in tissue was calculated as follows.
Fat in tissue (%)=fat mass/(total body mass–bone mineral content)×100
In addition, the organs were extracted and their weights were measured. This study was performed with approval by the Animal Research Ethics Committee of KPClab (approval No. P182016).
SD rats (male, 5 weeks old) were purchased from Orientbio (Seongnam, Korea). After 1 week of acclimation, SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=9) in individual cages. The experimental groups were as follows: (1) a SD vehicle group with a normal diet (ND+water, n=9); (2) SD vehicle group with a HFD+ water, (n=9); and (3) SD rats with a high fat diet+200 mg/kg extract of
For all experiments, males were selected for excluding the effect of menstrual cycle.
