Values are expressed as Mean ± SD of 8 mice

NFD = Normal pellet diet; HFD = 45% kcal high fat diet; SOD = Superoxide dismutase

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 and c p<0.05 as compared with the HFD control group at time-matched point by LSD test

e p<0.01 as compared with the HFD control group at time-matched point by MW test

d p<0.01 as compared with the intact control group at time-matched point by MW test
