Effects of seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder on the feature indexes of obesity in C57BL/6 obesity mice reduced by the high-fat diet. NC: the mice of normal diet, HFD: the mice of high-fat diet, HSFP: the mice of high-fat diet united by gavaging the homogenate of seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder. (A) Body size of representative mice. (B) Growth curve of mice. (C) Body weight gain and Lee’s index (Lee’s index = $\sqrt[3]{\raisebox{1ex}{$body weight\ast 1000$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$body length$}\right.}$. (D) Food intake and energy intake. (E) Food efficiency ratio: (weight gain/food intake for the whole experiment period) × 100) and energy efficiency ratio: (weight gain/energy intake for the entire experiment period) × 100). In our study, all data were expressed as means ± SD, graph bars with different letters on the top correspond to statistically significant results (p < 0.05) based on one-way ANOVA analysis followed by Duncan’s multiple range test.
