Table 1 Statistical comparisons of the final body, absolute, and relative (%) organ weights and food consumption (g/rat/day) between the three experimental groups

Groups	Treatment	No. of rats	Final body weights (g)	Liver wt. (%)	Right kidney wt. (%)	Left kidney wt. (%)	Spleen wt. (%)	Avr. food consumption (g/rat/day)

*P values below 0.05 (P < 0.05) are significant
^aMeans ± SD
