Evaluation of obesity prevention effect of black ginseng on serum, liver, and hypothalamus of mice on a high-fat diet using a metabolomics approach

Abstract Black ginseng is being studied to prevent obesity caused by a high-fat diet (HFD).The aim of this study was to evaluate the obesity-preventing effect of black ginseng extract (BGE) in the serum, liver, and hypothalamus of mice on an HFD using metabolomic techniques.Mice were divided into four groups which were respectively fed a normal die
