Values are expressed as Mean ± SD of 8 mice
NFD = Normal pellet diet; HFD = 45% kcal high fat diet
BH extract = Domestic blue honeysuckle (Berries of Lonicera caerulea L.) extracts
Metformin was administrated at a dose level of 250 mg/kg
a p<0.01 as compared with the intact control group at time-matched point by LSD test
b p<0.01 as compared with the HFD control group at time-matched point by LSD test
c p<0.01 as compared with the intact control group at time-matched point by MW test
d p<0.01 as compared with the HFD control group at time-matched point by MW test
