Table 6

Effect of T. crispa on body mass index (BMI), Lee’s Index, adiposity Index (AI), and total fat pads.

Parameter groups	Body mass index (BMI)	Lee’s index	Total fat pads	Adiposity index, AI (%)
Normal control (NC)	0.641 ± 0.01	0.293 ± 0.002	18.378 ± 2.92	3.312 ± 0.40
High fat diet (HFD)	0.836 ± 0.02	0.322 ± 0.005	32.278 ± 4.17	6.204 ± 0.30
High fat diet + T. crispa (HFDTC)	0.760 ± 0.02^*	0.309 ± 0.001^*	25.002 ± 4.40^*	4.910 ± 0.80^*
High fat diet + orlistat (HFDO)	0.783 ± 0.02^*	0.308 ± 0.003^*	29.216 ± 2.87^*	5.120 ± 0.41^*

Means ± SEM with “*” in the same column are significant at compared to HFD group using one-way ANOVA test. = 5 rats/group.
