1 Mice were given HFD, HFD + EEP at a dose 50 mg/kg or EEP (50 mg/kg) once daily for 30 days by a single intragastric application. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Number of mice per groups: nine. * Significantly different from the control group (* p ≤ 0.05). ∇ Significantly different from the HFD group (∇ p ≤ 0.05). ▼ Significantly different from the HFD + EEP group (▼ p ≤ 0.05).
