Body composition at 8th weeks of experimental period measured by DEXA. Control, OVX rats fed a high-fat diet with 2 % dextrin; APP, OVX rats fed a high fat diet with 2 % Artemisia princeps Pamp water extract; LJH, OVX rats fed a high fat diet with 2 % Leonurus japonicas Houtt water extract; GJE, OVX rats fed a high fat diet with 2 % Gardenia jasminoides Ellis water extract; positive-control, OVX rats fed a high fat diet with 30 μg/kg body weight 17β-estradiol + 2 % dextrose. At 8th weeks, lean body mass (a) and fat mass (b) were measured in the abdomen and leg by DEXA whereas bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur and lumbar spine (c) were also measured. Bars and error bars represent means ± SD (n = 12). a,b,c Significantly different among all groups by Tukey’s test at p < 0.05
