Lee considered values greater than 0.31 as an indicator
of obesity and in our investigation all groups studied were
within this threshold [18, 35]. We did not measure the
amount of adipose tissue in the body, since it was not
in the scope of our study, and we could evaluate it only
indirectly based on somatometric indices. The increased
body weight of the animals is likely to be a result of the
increased carbohydrate intake, since the juice ingested was
in unlimited amounts, a total dose of 64ml/kg. As it was
already mentioned, the carbohydrate content of the juice
was approximately 15%. In this first experiment, the juice
dosage administered was relatively high and not applicable
to humans. We have already planned further experiment
with a reduced dose of Aronia juice applicable to humans.
The higher body weight of the supplemented animals is
likely to be due not only to obesity but to an increased
relative portion of nonfat body mass as well. According to
additional data (not presented in this paper) the weights of
liver, heart, and spleen showed significantly higher values in
the supplemented animals as compared to the old controls
