Figure 1. Effects of RC and berberine on (a) body weight and (b) visceral adipose tissue weight in HFD mice.

“Normal”, normal chow diet-fed mice; “HFD”, high-fat diet-fed control mice; “berberine”, berberine-treated HFD mice; “RC”, Rhizoma coptidis-treated HFD mice. Data were expressed as Mean±S.D. (n = 10), *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. HFD controls.
