Effect of 6-week treatment with Allium fistulosum aqueous extract (AFW) and A. fistulosum ethanolic extract (AFE) on blood lipid and glucose levels and liver enzymes in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. a Triacylglycerol, (b) total cholesterol, (c) LDL-cholesterol, (d) HDL-cholesterol, (e) free fatty acids, (f) glucose, (g) creatinine, (h) aspartate transaminase (AST), and (i) alanine transaminase (ALT) levels. Normal, standard chow; HFD-control, HFD only; HFD-HCA, HFD plus 100 mg/kg Garcinia cambogia extract containing hydroxycitric acid; HFD-CLA, HFD plus 100 mg/kg conjugated linoleic acid; HFD-ORL, HFD plus 15.6 mg/kg Xenical (orlistat); HFD-AFW, HFD plus 100 mg/kg AFW; HFD-AFE, HFD plus 100 mg/kg AFE. Results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 6). # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared with the normal control group; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared with the HFD-control group
