Group No.	Sample code	Basil diet	Bay leaves	Description
Group 1	G1; Control (−ve)	100%	0%	Healthy normal rats fed with basal diet without bay leaves.
Group 2	G2; Control (+ve)	100%	0%	UC rats fed basal diets without any bay leaves.
Group 3	G3	99%	1%	UC model fed with a basal diet supplemented with 1% bay leaves
Group 4	G4	98%	2%	UC model fed with a basal diet supplemented with 2% bay leaves
Group 5	G5	97%	3%	UC model fed with a basal diet supplemented with 3% bay leaves
