Effect of co-administration of DSP on body weight in high fat induced obese rat. NC: normal control; HFD: high-fat diet induced obese group; HFD + DSP-250, rat supplemented HFD and desalted S. europea powder at dose 250 mg/kg; HFD + DSP-500, rat supplemented 500 mg/kg DSP; HFD + GE-200, rat supplemented 200 mg/kg Garcinia cambogea extract. (A) 3-D micro-CT images of abdominal adiposity. (B–D) numerical presentation of abdominal adiposity. TAF: total abdominal fat; VAF: visceral abdominal fat, and SAF: subcutaneous abdominal fat volume. The data are reported as the mean ± SD (n = 10). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, analyzed by parametric multiple comparison procedures, One-way ANOVA test. When the result of ANOVA was significant, and Dunnett’s multiple comparison test was applied versus the NC group; #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01; and ###p < 0.001, versus high-fat diet supplemented group (HFD).
