Correlations between measured parameters. Pearson correlations between body weight gain, metabolisable energy intake, RER, EE, liver weight, hepatic lipid accumulation, Cyp2b9 expression, weight and area of WAT and serum leptin levels were analysed for HF and all HF + flavonoids groups (a). Pearson r values are presented, with underneath the significance of the correlation; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. Correlation plot of BW gain to leptin for HF, HF + flavonoids and NF (b). Correlation plot of BW gain to Cyp2b9 expression (log2) for HF, HF + flavonoids and NF (c). Large symbols indicate the mean of the value per group, and small symbols indicate the individual mice
