Body weight, Lee's index, serum triglyceride levels, and dairy food intake of rats in the three experimental groups
| Parameter | NG | HLG | HSG |
| Initial body weight (g) | 69 ± 4 | 70 ± 5 | 69 ± 8 |
| Final body weight (g) | 461 ± 56 | 537 ± 46a | 467 ± 49b |
| Lee’s index | 3.13 ± 0.07 | 3.43 ± 0.16a | 3.12 ± 0.13b |
| Triglyceride (mmol/L) | 1.57 ± 0.46 | 3.24 ± 1.48a | 1.39 ± 0.41b |
| Food intake (g/d) | 19.57 ± 0.87 | 18.91 ± 1.12 | 18.01 ± 0.77 |
The results are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 8 for each group.
a
P < 0.05 vs NG;
b
P < 0.05 vs HLG. NG: Normal group; HLG: High-fat diet group; HSG: High-fat diet group treated with Sheng-jiang powder.
