  1. Body weight of mice consuming regular diet, high fat diet + Letrozole (90 µg /kg.b.w.), high fat diet + Letrozole (90 µg /kg.b.w.) plus different extracts (500 mg/kg) and metformin (300 mg/kg.b.w.) during the last three weeks. Values are given as mean ± SD significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 for groups of six animals each. Small letters are used for comparison between the means within the column. Capital letters are used to compare means within the row. a: Significant with Group I, b: Significant with Group II, c: Significant with Group III, d: Significant with Group IV, e: Significant with Group V, f: Significant with Group VI, Abbreviation: Murcott Fruit (MTF), Murcott Leaves (MTL), Merav Fruit (MVF), and Merav Leaves (MVL).
