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

Group number	Treatment (p.o.)	Dose (kg−1)	Relative organ weight
			Liver weight
1	Vehicle (1% w/v CMC)	10 mL	3.48 ± 0.15	0.40 ± 0.01
2	Vehicle (1% w/v CMC) + fructose (25% w/v)	10 mL	5.78 ± 0.74##	0.42 ± 0.02
3	Atorvastatin + fructose (25% w/v)	10 mg	3.87 ± 0.36a	0.47 ± 0.03
4	Aloe succotrina + fructose (25% w/v)	100 mg	3.92 ± 0.30a	0.46 ± 0.02
5	Aloe succotrina + fructose (25% w/v)	200 mg	3.87 ± 0.29a	0.49 ± 0.03

Relative weight = (organ weight/body weight) × 100.

(n = 5) in each group. Values are in Mean ± SEM; data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test.

F (4, 21) = 4.742; P < 0.007 (for relative liver weight).

F (4, 21) = 1.594; P < 0.1045 (for relative heart weight).

^## P < 0.01 as compared to vehicle treated control; ^a P < 0.05 as compared to fructose treated control.
