Effect of glabridin and glycyrrhizic acid on the body weight
After 4 weeks from the ovariectomy, the body weight gain was higher by 102% (p < 0.001) in the
ovariectomized (OVX) rats, than in the non-ovariectomized control group (C). In the ovariectomized
rats treated with estradiol (ES), the body weight gain was lower by 29.9% (p < 0.05), than in the
OVX rats. After treatment with glabridin (GL) or glycyrrhizic acid (GA) no changes in body weight
gain were recorded, when compared to the OVX rats (Table 1).
