Effects of extracts of TP and AMB on mice body weights

   Fig. 3. Effects of extracts of TP and AMB on mice body weights.  The values are expressed as mean (n = 8). BD stands for basal diet. HFD stands for high fat diet. BF stands for bezafibrate. ETP stands for extraction of TP. EAMB stands for extraction of AMB. The groups MEx1 to MEx5 are the mixture extracts of TP and AMB (The ratio of quercetin to adenosine are 1:8, 1:4, 1:2, 1:1 and 1.5:1.). </p
