Figure 4From: Effects of rhaponticum carthamoides versus glycyrrhiza glabra and punica granatum extracts on metabolic syndrome signs in rats Concentration of serum (A) and adrenal (B) corticosterone of rats fed standard diet (SD), high-fat diet (HFD), and 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 < 0.05) was determined.Back to article page
