Anthocyanins: Do they really prevent obesity?

Male C57BL6 mice received diets with either 10% of cal. from fat (LF), a high fat diet [45% (HF45) or 60% (HF60) cal. from fat]. In 2 studies these were given with or without: freeze dried powders from whole blueberries (BB), strawberries (SB), black raspberries (BR) or concentrated anthocyanins (AC...

Description
Summary:Male C57BL6 mice received diets with either 10% of cal. from fat (LF), a high fat diet [45% (HF45) or 60% (HF60) cal. from fat]. In 2 studies these were given with or without: freeze dried powders from whole blueberries (BB), strawberries (SB), black raspberries (BR) or concentrated anthocyanins (ACNs) from purple corn (PC) added to diet or SB or BB added to drinking water. Body composition was determined utilizing Echo MRI. Berries added to the LF diet did not alter wt. gain, final wts., body fat or protein (% BW), or diet or energy intake. However, in HF45 mice, wt. gain, final wts., body fat (%) and epididymal fat wts. increased and body protein decreased (p
