Figure 4: (a) Absolute body weight comparison of Wistar rats. n = 4; mean ± SEM; paired sample t- test, aP < 0.05; bP < 0.001 when IW and FWs were compared. One-way ANOVA least significant difference post hoc test, P > 0.05 when weight changes (FW – IW) were compared with the control. CTRL: Control (distilled H2O 2 ml/kg), LoAP, MiAP, and HiAP: Aqueous fruit extract of Phoenix dactylifera (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg, respectively), MCL: HgCl2 (5 mg/kg), Vit C: Vitamin C (100 mg/kg), FW: Final weight, IW: Initial weight. (b) Comparison of organosomatic index of Wistar rats. n = 4; mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA least significant difference post hoc test, aP < 0.05, when compared with the control. CTRL: Control (distilled H2O 2 ml/kg), LoAP, MiAP, and HiAP: Aqueous fruit extract of Phoenix dactylifera (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg, respectively), MCL: HgCl2 (5 mg/kg), Vit C: Vitamin C (100 mg/kg) |
