Table 2. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis of visual analog scale (VAS) after tea consumption.

Parameter	PT	FT	FGT	p value
Hunger, mm, 210 min	172.2 ± 25.1*	122.0 ± 32.4	118.0 ± 25.5	0.33
Fullness, mm, 210 min	95.4 ± 17.1a	150.4 ± 20.3a,b	182.9 ± 15.6b	0.01
Desire to eat, mm, 210 min	181.8 ± 33.3	123.3 ± 27.5	144.9 ± 29.1	0.40
Prospective food consumption, mm, 210 min	183.8 ± 35.3	131.3 ± 30.9	148.0 ± 17.8	0.38

AUC values were calculated using the trapezoidal rule. All analyses were arranged using one-way ANOVA, and verified using the Tukey's range test (p < 0.05).

Different letter subscripts indicate a significant difference among the groups (p < 0.05).

PT: placebo tea (control), FT: fennel tea, FGT: fenugreek tea.

^*Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).
