Epididymal fat tissue weight of rats fed a standard diet (SD), a high-fat diet (HFD), and an HFD supplemented with Rhaponticum cathamoides extract (ERC), Punica granatum extract (EPG) and Glycyrrhiza glabra extract (EGG) (300 mg/kg per day) for 8 weeks. Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 10). The statistical significance of differences between rats fed HFD and either SD (# p < 0.001) or HFD supplemented with ERC, EPG or EGG (*p < 0.01) was determined.
