Fig. 1. Effects of treatment with ALA on body weight and fat pad mass in ovariectomized rats. (A) Changes of body weight; (B) body weight gain; (C) food intake; (D) total visceral fat pad mass; plasma levels of (E) triglycerides, (F) total cholesterol, (G) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and (H) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in ovariectomized rats. Data are expressed as mean±standard error of the mean. *P<0.05 vs. Sham; †P<0.05 vs. ovariectomy (Ovx); ‡P<0.05 vs. Ovx+ALA2 (n=6–11). ALA2, alpha-lipoic acid (200 mg/kg/day, gavage); ALA3, alphalipoic acid (300 mg/kg/day, gavage) for 8 weeks.
