Gravimetric determination of liver total lipid content in liver. The liver fragments (approximately 1.0 g) from control, OVX, OVX + CE, and OVX + ButF rats were homogenized in a 2 : 1 chloroform-methanol mixture for the gravimetric determination of hepatic total lipids and the results are expressed as g/100 g wet liver weight (). The vertical bars represent the standard errors. The letter indicates significant differences between the values as calculated via ANOVA ( OVX versus control, OVX + CE, and OVX + ButF).
