Fig. 2From: Methanol leaf extracts of Chrysophyllum albidum and Irvingia gabonensis protected against dyslipidaemia and oxidative stress induced by high-fat diet in Wistar ratsEffect of C. albidum and I. gabonensis extracts on the weekly body weight of rats fed with HFD. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Points bearing asterisk * = Extracts and NFD control are significantly different from HFD control. At weeks 0, 1, 2 and 3 there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the body weights of all groups. However, from week 4 to 8 the body weight of rats in HFD control was significantly higher (p ˂ 0.05) than the body weights of rats in the extracts treated groups and NFD controlBack to article page
