Table 1: End point total weight gain (g) and percentage weight gain (%), serum glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride (TAG) (mmol/l), and insulin (ng/ml) levels measured in rats fed a normal Diet (ND) or high fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks (n = 6 per group). Significant difference (t-test): ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001 vs. ND rats.
