Values are expressed mean ± S.D. of eight mice. * p < 0.05 as compared with sham control; # p < 0.01 as compared with OVX control; p < 0.05 as compared with RC single formula treated mice; p < 0.05 as compared with PCP single formula treated mice. OVX = Bilateral ovariectomy; RC = Red clover dry extracts; PCP = Pomegranate Concentrate Powder; RC:PCP = Mixed formulations consisted of RC and PCP (g/g).
