LC-MS/MS Analysis and Hepatoprotective Activity of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Leaves Extract against High Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Rats

Figure 3

Effect of C. scolymus leaves extract on the liver weight of control and HFD groups. HFD groups were orally administered with ethanol extract (EEA) from leaves of C. scolymus and atorvastatin (ATOR) at the doses mentioned earlier for 60 days. Values are given as means ± SD (n = 6). p ≤ 0.01 was considered significant compared to control groups; # p ≤ 0.05; ## p ≤ 0.01 were considered significant compared to HFD groups; ¥p ≤ 0.05; ¥¥ p ≤ 0.01 were considered significant compared to HFD groups treated with atorvastatin.
