MA, Acetone extract of Moringa oleifera at 1000 mg/kg body weight; MB, Acetone extract of Moringa oleifera at 500 mg/kg body weight; MC, Acetone extract of Moringa oleifera at 250 mg/kg body weight; VA, Vernonia amygdalina acetone extract at 1000 mg/kg body weight; VB, Vernonia amygdalina acetone extract at 500 mg/kg body weight; VC, Vernonia amygdalina acetone extract at 250 mg/kg bw; TN, Negative control; TP, Positive control treated with Amprocox at 5 mg/kg bw. The means in the same row affected by the different letters “a and b” are significantly different (P<0.05).
