Schisandra Fruit Vinegar Lowers Lipid Profile in High-Fat Diet Rats

Table 2

Effects of Schisandra fruit vinegar (SV) on the body weight, liver weight, and liver index in HFD rats (mean ± SD, n = 8).

Group	Body weight (g)	Liver weight (g)	Liver index (%)
CON	313.00 ± 14.45	8.35 ± 0.75	2.77 ± 0.07
MOD	346.00 ± 28.46^##	10.40 ± 0.42^##	3.02 ± 0.25^#
SVL	341.43 ± 42.80	10.18 ± 0.51	3.03 ± 0.51
SVM	323.13 ± 24.01	9.19 ± 0.27	2.86 ± 0.22
SVH	318.63 ± 18.94	8.77 ± 0.45	2.76 ± 0.21

After SV was intragastrically given for six weeks, the body weight and liver weight of rats in each group were measured, and the liver index was calculated. The values indicate mean ± SD of  8 rats. Differences  between CON  group  and  MOD group  were  determined  using  Student’s t-test  ( and ). Differences between MOD group and each SV-treated group  were  assessed  using Student’s t-test  ( and ).
