Change in alkaline and acid phosphatase activity (mg pi g−1 h−1) in the testis of male Swiss albino mice in different groups
| Experimental groups | Alkaline phosphatase level | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Day 3 | Day 7 | Day 14 | Day 30 | |
| Adhatoda alone (800 mg kg−1 body weight) | 5.36 ± 0.20 | 5.44 ± 0.6 | 5.38 ± 0.19 | 5.50 ± 0.22 | 6.02 ± 0.20* |
| Radiation (8 Gy) | 2.81 ± 0.12*** | 1.88 ± 0.10*** | 1.59 ± 0.12*** | 2.24 ± 0.12*** | No survival |
| Adhatoda + radiation (800 mg kg−1 body weight + 8 Gy) | 3.46 ± 0.22** | 4.36 ± 0.04*** | 4.24 ± 0.29*** | 4.40 ± 0.04*** | 4.34 ± 0.03 |
Values are depicted as Mean ± SD.
Normal value: 5.40 ± 0.32.
Significance level: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
Statistical comparison: Adhatoda versus normal (DDW); radiation versus normal (DDW); Adhatoda + radiation versus radiation.
