  1. Values are mean ± SEM and n = 6 for each group. The significance was tested by ANOVA with Duncan’s test for multiple comparisons. Values with the same superscript letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05)
  2. CON, normal control diet-fed mice; HF, high-fat diet-fed control; L, low-dose mulberry leaf extract (133 mg/kg)-treated high-fat diet-fed mice; H, high-dose mulberry leaf extract (666 mg/kg)-treated high-fat diet-fed mice
