Table 3.

The body parameters of rats in each category are shown. Values were means $\pm$ SD (n $=$ 12), multi-group comparison by One-Way ANOVA; # (P $\leq$ 0.05), ## (P $\leq$ 0.01), and ### (P $\leq$ 0.001) vs. ND, and * (P $\leq$ 0.05), ** (P $\leq$ 0.01), *** (P $\leq$ 0.001) vs. HFD; a, P $>$ 0.05 vs. 600 g by one-sample t-test; b, P $>$ 0.05 by independent-samples t-test.
