Illicium v. results in improved body weight and blood pressure in high-fat diet-fed ApoE^−/− mice. a Body weight ratio was measured during the 0–12 week feeding regimen. b Blood pressure (diastolic and systolic) ratio was measured at the end of the 12-week feeding regimen. All data represent mean values ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus control; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 versus HFD
