Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8). Different lowercase alphabets indicate that differences between means were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT); total cholesterol (TC); glucose (GLU); high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c); low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c); triglyceride (TG). ND, normal diet mice group (10% fat); HFD, high-fat (60% fat) diet-induced obese mice group; E50/100/200, high-fat diet-induced obese mice were orally treated with Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. water extract (EAW) at concentrations of 50/100/200 mg/kg/day; G100, high-fat diet-induced obese mice were orally treated with Garcinia cambogia water extract at concentrations of 100 mg/kg/day.
