Table 1.

Changes in food intake, body weight, and adipose tissue weight by the peroral administration of CE. Wistar rats perorally received water (control group) or 3 or 10% CE solution twice daily for 32 days. Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M. of eight animals for each group. *: P<0.05, compared with the value of the control.
