Effects of CSE and DMC on body weight and consumption of diet and water in rats.
| Group | Treatments | Body Weight (g) | Consumption (per Rat per Day) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | Final | Diet (g) | Water (mL) | ||
| 1 | DEN | 211 ± 9 | 468 ± 27 * | 19.5 ± 1.1 * | 28.8 ± 4.8 |
| 2 | DEN + CSE 200 mg/kg bw | 212 ± 20 | 490 ± 60 | 20.8 ± 1.4 | 36.9 ± 7.4 ** |
| 3 | DEN + CSE 400 mg/kg bw | 212 ± 17 | 451 ± 49 | 19.6 ± 1.2 | 31.8 ± 5.9 |
| 4 | DEN + DMC 10 mg/kg bw | 211 ± 7 | 465 ± 15 | 19.2 ± 1.3 | 31.1 ± 6.3 |
| 5 | DEN + DMC 20 mg/kg bw | 211 ± 5 | 459 ± 31 | 19.1 ± 1.5 | 37.0 ± 9.5 ** |
| 6 | NSS | 212 ± 8 | 561 ± 26 | 22.3 ± 1.2 | 35.4 ± 4.4 |
| 7 | NSS + CSE 400 mg/kg bw | 211 ± 15 | 494 ± 49 * | 20.3 ± 1.3 * | 38.2 ± 5.9 |
| 8 | NSS + DMC 20 mg/kg bw | 212 ± 13 | 533 ± 35 | 21.5 ± 1.1 | 34.3 ± 4.9 |
The results are presented as mean ± SD. Diethylnitrosamine (DEN); normal saline solution (NSS); C. nervosum seed extract (CSE); 2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3′,5′-dimethylchalcone (DMC). * Significantly different compared to the NSS-treated group (p < 0.05). ** Significantly different compared to the DEN-treated group (p < 0.05).
