Table 2.

A distribution of pre- and post-mean body weight, mean BMI, and percentage of body weight gain in each study group of induced-obese SD rats after daily administration of stingless bee honey (SBH) for a period of six weeks.

Groups	Mean Body Weight (g) ± SEM		Mean BMI ± SEM		Percentage of Body Weight Gain (%) ± SEM
Groups	Pre-intervention	Post-intervention	Pre-intervention	Post-intervention	Percentage of Body Weight Gain (%) ± SEM
Group 1 (ND)	350.6 ± 3.1	468.1 ± 3.6	0.62 ± 0.006	0.73 ± 0.009	33.58 ± 1.2
Group 2 (Obese rats; HFD)	411.6 ± 7.7^a	549.9 ± 11.7	0.72 ± 0.006	0.83 ± 0.013	33.73 ± 2.8
Group 3 (Obese rats; HFD+1000 mg/kg SBH)	443.6 ± 8.2^a	497.3 ± 19.2^b	0.72 ± 0.010	0.73 ± 0.019^b	11.98 ± 3.1^{a, b}
Group 4 (Obese rats; HFD+750 mg/kg SBH)	471.7 ± 5.1^a	460.3 ± 13.6^b	0.72 ± 0.007	0.69 ± 0.016^{a, b}	-2.30 ± 2.9^{a, b}
Group 5 (Obese rats; HFD+500 mg/kg SBH)	453.6 ± 2.6^a	504.3 ± 21.6^b	0.71 ± 0.006	0.73 ± 0.018^b	11.14 ± 4.6^{a, b}
Group 6 (Obese rats; HFD+ orlistat)	463.0 ± 5.5^a	405.9 ± 6.6^{a, b}	0.73 ± 0.008	0.65 ± 0.009^{a, b}	-12.36 ± 0.6^{a, b}

Results are presented as means ± SEM, n = 7.

Values are statistically significant at p < 0.05.

Note: ^asignificantly different compared to normal control rats (group 1); ^bsignificantly different compared to control obese rats (group 2).

ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; SBH: stingless bee honey.
