Antiobesity Effects of the Combined Plant Extracts Varying the Combination Ratio of Phyllostachys pubescens Leaf Extract and Scutellaria baicalensis Root Extract

Figure 1

Effects of BS mixtures on (a) body weight gain, (b) food intake, and (c) food efficiency ratio in mice consuming high fat diet. The food efficiency ratio is calculated by (daily body weight gain/daily food intake) × 100. ND: normal diet, HFD: high fat diet control, HCA: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of Garcinia Cambogia, XNC: high fat diet plus 15.6 mg/kg/day of Xenical, BS31: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of BS31, BS21: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of BS21, BS11: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of BS11, BS12: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of BS12, and BS13: high fat diet plus 100 mg/kg/day of BS13. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (). and (compared with ND) and , , and (compared with HFD) express significant differences as determined by Duncan’s multiple-range test.
