Effects of PF and PJ extracts on weight of different tissues and serum lipids in high-fat diet (HFD) C57BL/6 mice.

Parameter	LFD + Water	HFD + Water	HFD + PF	HFD + PJ
Weight of tissues
Liver (g)	0.96 ± 0.03 **	1.15 ± 0.05	0.91 ± 0.02 ***	0.85 ± 0.05 ***
Epididymal adipose (g)	0.21 ± 0.02 **	0.56 ± 0.08	0.39 ± 0.02 *	0.25 ± 0.04 **
Perirenal adipose (g)	0.05 ± 0.01 *	0.18 ± 0.04	0.11 ± 0.01	0.06 ± 0.01 *
Serum lipids
TG (mmol/L)	1.00 ± 0.09 *	1.95 ± 0.35	0.88 ± 0.05 **	0.64 ± 0.03 **
TCH (mmol/L)	2.96 ± 0.04	3.01 ± 0.12	2.88 ± 0.13	2.69 ± 0.13
HDL-c (mmol/L)	2.24 ± 0.09 **	1.42 ± 0.20	2.22 ± 0.09 **	2.21 ± 0.14 **
LDL-c (mmol/L)	0.49 ± 0.02 *	0.65 ± 0.06	0.42 ± 0.04 **	0.46 ± 0.03 *

Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6–10). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, compared to the HFD group treated with water. LFD: low fat diet; TG: triglyceride; TCH: total cholesterol; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
