Negative Control	23.1 ± 0.7^a	5.6 ± 0.2^a	0.2 ± 0.1^b	3.8 ± 0.3^a	9.1 ± 0.4^a	4.6 ± 0.4^a
Positive Control	6.2 ± 0.4^c	1.6 ± 0.1^bc	0.7 ± 0.5^a	0.5 ± 0.1^bc	2.2 ± 0.1^c	1.6 ± 0.1^bc
HFD+200 mg/kg	6.7 ± 0.2^c	1.3 ± 0.1^bc	0.7 ± 0.5^a	0.5 ± 0.1^bd	1.9 ± 0.1^cd	1.5 ± 0.1^bc
HFD+250 mg/kg	6.6 ± 0.3^c	1.1 ± 0.1^c	0.7 ± 0.3^a	0.4 ± 0.1^de	1.8 ± 0.1^d	1.5 ± 0.1^bc
HFD+ 300 mg/kg	6.1 ± 0.1^c	1.1 ± 0.4^c	0.6 ± 0.1^a	0.3 ± 0.1^e	1.5 ± 0.1^d	1.4 ± 0.1^c

Results are expressed as Means ± SD for five animals per group. The means of organ weights within respective columns followed by a superscript of similar lower-case letter (such as [a], [b, ab, bc & bd], [c, bc & cd], [d, bd & cd] or [e & de]) are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.01). However, in each column, means followed by superscripts of different lower-case letter (such as a, b, c, d & e) are significantly different from each other (p ≤ 0.01). Inferential statistics were performed using One way-ANOVA to test for statistical differences among studied groups. Tukey's post hoc test was then done for pairwise separation and comparison of means.
