[Table/Fig-2]:
Effect of drug alprazolam on restrained stress induced alteration of body weight in male albino rats.
| Group & Treatment | Initial Body Weight (g) |
Final Body Weight (g) |
Percentage body weight gain (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Group I (Untreated control) |
192.50±45.96a | 242.50±47.38a | 25.09±1.56a |
|
Group II (Stress induced) |
199.50±10.61a | 227.00±14.24b | 14.78±8.23b |
|
Group III (Stress+ Withdrawal) |
211.50±40.95a | 266.50±38.95c | 26.86±4.90a |
|
Group IV (stress + alprazolam, 5mg/kg bwt) |
195.67±12.78a | 242.15±15.22a | 24.95±3.41a |
Each value is Mean ± SD of six observations in each group. In each column, values with different superscripts (a, b, c) were significantly different from each other (p<0.05). Post-hoc t-test analysis was used to test for differences among the means when ANOVA indicated a significant p<0.05.
