The relative density of PPAR-γ in adipose tissue of OVX rats with HCHF diet which received various treatments. The levels of β-actin were normalized against the level of PPAR-γ. Their relative density of PPAR-γ levels were calculated against those of control normal diet plus vehicle rats. Data are presented as (/group). ^a value < 0.05, compared to control rats which received normal diet and vehicle and and value < 0.01 and 0.001, respectively, compared to OVX rats which received HCHF and vehicle. ND: normal diet; HCHF: high-carbohydrate high-fat diet; OVX-HCHF: ovariectomized plus high-carbohydrate high-fat diet; Iso: the isoflavone at a dose of 15 mg/kg BW; L-car: the L-carnitine at a dose of 250 mg/kg BW; MME10, 50, and 250, the microencapsulated mulberry fruit extract at doses of 10, 50, and 250 mg/kg BW, respectively.
