Final weight (g)	251.34 ± 2,85	374.62 ± 8.50	256.59 ± 2.11^c	263.01 ± 3.45^c	263.98 ± 4.32^c	250.24 ± 2.77^c
BMI (g/cm^2)	0.66 ± 0.11	2.20 ± 0.08	0.68 ± 003^c	0.75 ± 0.04^c	0.78 ± 0.05^c	0.66 ± 004^c
Abdominal fat (g)	4.18 ± 0.09	9.27 ± 0.20	5.67 ± 0.24^c	6.47 ± 0.02^c	6.21 ± 0.06^c	5.79 ± 0.18^c

All results were expressed as mean ± standard derivation (n = 5). Data analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Turkey’s post hoc test. statistically significant compared with the normal control group. statistically significant compared with the diabetic control. BMI: body mass index; AEFV: aqueous extract of the leaves of Ficus vallis-choudae.
