Effect of dried pulp of Aloe succotrina leaves on relative liver and heart weight of HFD-induced hyperlipidemic rats.

Group number	Treatment (p.o.)	Dose (kg−1)	Number of animals	Relative organ weight
				Liver weight	Heart weight
1	Vehicle (1% w/v CMC)	10 mL	6	4.98 ± 0.32	0.63 ± 0.07
2	Vehicle (1% w/v CMC) + HFD	10 mL	6	7.80 ± 0.54###	0.70 ± 0.04
3	Atorvastatin + HFD	10 mg	3	5.77 ± 0.31a	0.59 ± 0.06
4	Aloe succotrina + HFD	100 mg	5	6.87 ± 0.32	0.64 ± 0.04
5	Aloe succotrina + HFD	200 mg	5	5.81 ± 0.34a	0.60 ± 0.02

Relative weight = (organ weight/body weight) × 100. Values are in Mean ± SEM; data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test.

F (4, 20) = 8.271; P < 0.0004 (for relative liver weight).

F (4, 20) = 0.747; P < 0.5715 (for relative heart weight).

^### P < 0.001 as compared to vehicle treated control; ^a P < 0.05 as compared to HFD treated control.
