Table 6. Effect of M. baccifera fruit on body weight of male mice (fed for eight days).

Groups	1st day(Weight, g)	5th day(Weight, g)	8th day(Weight, g)
Control	26.16 ± 2.85	27.83 ± 3.06	28.46 ± 3.06 (+2.3)
T I	27.33 ± 1.75	29.18 ± 1.98	30.36 ± 2.12 (+3.03)
T II	28.83 ± 1.42	20.30 ± 1.28*	18.87 ± 1.43** (−9.95)

(Values are mean ± SD n = 6 (except T-II group, where n = 4); *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 (compared to control); Difference in body weights were given in bracket; On 8th day, in bamboo fruit fed group, 2 animals died hence n = 4 in that group. All animals were sacrificed on 8^th day and blood samples were collected).
