Table 1 Serum lipids content (mmol/L) in 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

  1. Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 10). The statistical significance of differences between rats fed HFD and either SD (#p < 0.01) or HFD supplemented with ERC, EPG or EGG (*p < 0.05) was determined.
