Relative liver weight = Liver weight (g)/Body weight (g) × 100%.

Values are expressed as Mean ± SD. Values with different superscriptions within the same columns significantly differ at P < 0.05. IH, Intermittent Hypoxia; WF, whole Ficus carica; NC, Negative control; PC, Positive control; Low WF: 6.25 ml/kg/day, Med WF: 12.5 ml/kg/day; High WF: 25 ml/kg/day. Values are expressed as Mean ± SD. Different letters (a, b, c) in the same column indicate a significant difference between groups according to the one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) and Duncan post-hoc test. WF, whole of Ficus carica.
