Body weight gain after four weeks of control diet (number of animals is 15) or hyperlipidic diet (number of animals is 13) (a) and after four weeks of ovariectomy (b) of studied rats groups: (SHAM C) sham group treated with control diet; (SHAM H) sham group treated with hyperlipidic diet; (OVX C) ovariectomized group treated with control diet; (OVX H) ovariectomized group treated with hyperlipidic diet. The numbers of animals varied between six and eight. as compared to the SHAM C; as compared to OVX H; as compared to SHAM H.
