Quercetin reduces body weight gain and food efficiency. Body weight of control (n = 12) and quercetin (n = 11) fed mice during 12 weeks on high-fat diet (a). Cumulative body weight gain over 12 weeks (b). Cumulative metabolisable energy intake over 12 weeks (c). Calculated total food efficiency in body weight gain per kJ consumed (d). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. White bars indicate the control group (c) and black bars indicate the quercetin group (Q). Asterisks indicates a significant difference between both groups, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
