Effect of quercitrin on body weight gain, epidermal fat, and liver weight in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Body weight gain, epidermal fat mass, and liver mass were determined after 11 weeks of quercitrin (500 mg/kg of diet) and estradiol (0.4 mg/kg of diet) treatment in female OVX mice. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
