Effects of Chrysanthemum coronarium on body, fat, liver, and uterine weights and food intake of OVX mice.

		SH	OVX	O + Es	O + CC
Body weight (g)	Initial	28.4 ± 0.8	29.2 ± 0.5	28.7 ± 1.2	29.6 ± 0.9
	Final	39.3 ± 2.4	57.2 ± 1.6	35.2 ± 0.8	50.1 ± 2.4
Food intake (g/day)		8.0 ± 0.6	8.1 ± 0.5	7.4 ± 0.4	8.3 ± 0.2
FER		5.0 ± 3.9	7.1 ± 3.5	5.9 ± 3.0	6.0 ± 2.4
Fat (g)		0.36 ± 0.12	0.71 ± 0.02	0.18 ± 0.02	0.59 ± 0.03
Uterus weight (g)		0.45 ± 0.03	0.05 ± 0.007	0.36 ± 0.003	0.078 ± 0.002

SH (sham), sham mice; OVX (ovariectomy), OVX mice; O + Es (estrogen), OVX + Es treatment mice; O + CC (Chrysanthemum coronarium), OVX + CC treatment mice. FER indicates food efficacy rate (body weight gain/g feed). Data are represented as means ± SEM, n = 8. compared with SH groups, and compared with OVX groups.
