TABLE 5.
Organ indices of mice in each group.
| Group | Liver index | Epididymal adipose index |
| Normal | 2.12 ± 0.05f | 1.20 ± 0.04f |
| Control | 4.97 ± 0.15a | 3.09 ± 0.11a |
| L-carnitine | 3.51 ± 0.06d | 2.02 ± 0.04d |
| LF-CQPC04-L | 3.89 ± 0.06c | 2.39 ± 0.06c |
| LF-CQPC04-H | 2.89 ± 0.06e | 1.69 ± 0.05e |
| LB | 4.13 ± 0.08b | 2.81 ± 0.06b |
Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation (n = 10/group). a–fMean values with different letters in the same column are significantly different (P < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. LF-CQPC04-L: mice treated with a low concentration of Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC04 (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg); LF-CQPC04-H: mice treated with a high concentration of Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC04 (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg); LB: Mice treated with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg).
