From: Dohaekseunggi-tang extract inhibits obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension in high-fat diet-induced obese mice

  Control HFD HFD-DHSGT
Final body weight, g 28.40 ± 0.51 41.40 ± 0.68### 31.60 ± 1.47***
Body-weight gain, g/day 0.09 ± 0.01 0.37 ± 0.02### 0.17 ± 0.04***
Food intake, g/day 3.36 ± 0.00 2.69 ± 0.00 2.24 ± 0.00
Food-efficiency ratio (%) 2.64 ± 0.31 13.60 ± 0.57### 7.53 ± 1.58**

  Visceral, g 0.28 ± 0.03 3.79 ± 0.27### 1.46 ± 0.30***
Liver weight, g 1.04 ± 0.07 1.12 ± 0.04 0.85 ± 0.06**
  1. Food-efficiency ratio (%) = (body-weight gain/food intake) × 100. Values are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 5); ###, p < 0.001 compared with the Control group; **p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001 compared with the HFD group.
