Table 1 Body weight, Lee's index, serum triglyceride levels, and dairy food intake of rats in the three experimental groups

Parameter	NG	HLG	HSG
Initial body weight (g)	69 ± 4	70 ± 5	69 ± 8
Final body weight (g)	461 ± 56	537 ± 46a	467 ± 49b
Lee’s index	3.13 ± 0.07	3.43 ± 0.16a	3.12 ± 0.13b
Triglyceride (mmol/L)	1.57 ± 0.46	3.24 ± 1.48a	1.39 ± 0.41b
Food intake (g/d)	19.57 ± 0.87	18.91 ± 1.12	18.01 ± 0.77

The results are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 8 for each group.

^aP < 0.05 vs NG;

^bP < 0.05 vs HLG. NG: Normal group; HLG: High-fat diet group; HSG: High-fat diet group treated with Sheng-jiang powder.
