Study Outline
Fig 1. HFD: 60% high-fat diet; HFHSD: 45% high-fat, high-sugar diet. Experimental period: 12-20 weeks
Data Validation
1. DIO mice show the higher body weight gain, higher body fat ratio and leptin resistance
Fig 2. Body weight and body composition measurement of DIO mice at different weeks of age
Data were presented as Mean±SD. *, p<0.05; ****, p<0.0001 by unpaired t test.
2. DIO mice develop type2 diabetes
Fig 3. Fasting blood glucose, insulin and glucose tolerance test in DIO mice
After 12 weeks of being fed a high-fat diet (60% fat), C57BL/6JGpt mice exhibited significantly elevated fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, along with markedly impaired glucose tolerance.
3. DIO mice develop dyslipidemia and fatty liver
Fig 4. Plasma Cholesterol Levels, Liver Function, and Hepatic Pathology Evaluation in DIO Mice
16 weeks of HFD feeding increased plasma cholesterol level, impaired liver function and induced hepatic steatosis in C57BL/6J mice. Data were presented as Mean±SD. ***, p<0.001; ****, p<0.0001 by unpaired t test.
4. Semaglutide treatment decreased body weight, body fat ratio, food intake and improved leptin resistance in DIO mice

Data were presented as Mean±SEM. n=8~10,*, p<0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001; ****, p<0.0001 by one way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test.
5. Semaglutide treatment improved hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance in dio mice

Data were presented as Mean±SEM. n=8~10,***, p<0.001; ****, p<0.0001 by one way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test.
6. Semaglutide treatment improved hypercholesterolemia in DIO mice

Data were presented as Mean±SEM. n=8~10,**, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001; ****, p<0.0001 by one way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test.
7. Semaglutide treatment improved fatty liver in DIO mice
