Supplementation of Stingless Bee Honey from Heterotrigona itama Improves Antiobesity Parameters in High-Fat Diet Induced Obese Rat Model

Table 3

Adiposity index (%) and relative organ weight (ROW) of liver in SD rats after daily administration of stingless bee honey (SBH) for a period of six weeks.

Parameters	Groups
	Group 1 (ND)	Group 2; (Obese rats; HFD)	Group 3; (Obese rats; HFD+1000 mg/kg SBH)	Group 4; (Obese rats; HFD+750 mg/kg SBH)	Group 5; (Obese rats; HFD+500 mg/kg SBH)	Group 6; (Obese rats; HFD+ orlistat)
Adiposity Index ()	3.8 ± 0.2	10.1 ± 0.5	5.6 ± 0.3	4.6 ± 0.5	6.8 ± 0.8	3.7 ± 0.3
Relative Organ Weight (Liver)	3.5 ± 0.1	9.4 ± 0.4	3.0 ± 0.1	2.7 ± 0.2	3.4 ± 0.1	3.2 ± 0.1

Results are presented as means ± SEM, n = 7.
Values are statistically significant at p < 0.05.
Note: significantly different compared to normal control rats (group 1); significantly different compared to control obese rats (group 2).
ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; SBH: stingless bee honey.
