Table II.
Rat weights in the control, CCl4 and CCl4 plus GTE groups over three weeks.
| Week | Control group | CCl4 group | CCl4 plus GTE group | P-valuea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 213.0±22.8 | 246.0±38.4 | 246.6±45.0 | 0.0816 |
| 2 | 248.1±26.3 | 256.5±41.4 | 273.2±43.4 | 0.3355 |
| 3 | 262.5±26.2 | 247.5±46.4 | 302.7±37.8b | 0.0086 |
a
The P-value was determined by one-way analysis of variance and considered significant if P<0.05;
b
P<0.05 versus the control group (using the least significant difference test). N=10 in each group. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation.
GTE, green tea extract; CCl4, carbon tetrachloride.
