Table 1

Body weight changes of rats during NAFLD development.

Group	Body weight at week 0 ( value); (g)	Body weight at week 12 ( value); (g)
Control	185.3 6.2	310.2 19.1
NAFLD	188.9 5.1	372.3 22.6
NAFLD + NPA (L)	190.3 9.2	362.0 17.6
NAFLD + NPA (M)	181.5 5.6	347.3 22.5
NAFLD + NPA (H)	180.2 4.7	338.8 31.6
Positive control	184.1 5.4	322.5 19.2

Values are means SD, .
Control group means the normal group of rats; NAFLD group means the model group of rats; NAFLD + NPA (L) group means the NAFLD model of rats which were administrated with 200 mg/kg NPA; NAFLD + NPA (M) group means the NAFLD model of rats which were administrated with 400 mg/kg NPA; NAFLD + NPA (H) group means the NAFLD model of rats which were administrated with 600 mg/kg NPA. Different letters (a, b, c, d, or e) in the same column represent significant differences between the treated groups ().
