  1. Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation (liver Index: n = 10/group, epididymal fat index: n = 5/group)
  2. a–c Mean values with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05) according to Tukey's multiple comparisons test. l-carnitine, mice treated with 200 mg/kg l-carnitine; LL-L, mice treated with 100 mg/kg lotus leaf extract; LL-H, mice treated with 200 mg/kg lotus leaf extract
