Table II.

Body weight, Lee's index, liver weight, abdominal fat and abdominal fat index of rats in the three experimental groups.

Parameter	Control group (n=12)	HFD group (n=12)	Octreotide-treated group (n=12)
Body weight (g)	472.08±30.61	606.58±57.11aa	534.42±49.15bb
Lee's index	306.82±4.96	322.30±8.82aa	315.32±12.28a
Liver weight (g)	12.16±1.64	14.88±1.41aa	12.46±1.05bb
Abdominal fat (g)	10.36±4.72	28.87±8.76aa	20.02±4.83bb
Abdominal fat index (%)	2.16±0.88	4.72±1.23aa	3.75±0.81b

Abdominal fat index was calculated using the following formula: Abdominal fat index (%)=(abdominal fat/body weight) ×100.

^aP<0.05

^aaP<0.01 and vs. the control group

^bP<0.05

^bbP<0.01 vs. the HFD group. HFD, high-fat diet.
