Table 2. DEHP increased the liver weight of rats.
| DEHP (mg/kg/d) | Body wt (g) | Body wt gain (g) | Liver wt (g) | Relative liver wt (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 171.02 ± 21.7 | 131.67 ± 17.1 | 7.61 ± 1.0 | 4.46 ± 0.4 |
| 250 | 185.82 ± 17.9 | 144.27 ± 14.2 | 9.62 ± 1.1* | 5.18 ± 0.3* |
| 500 | 166.13 ± 16.7 | 124.85 ± 19.4 | 9.85 ± 0.9* | 5.93 ± 0.2* |
| 750 | 176.03 ± 24.1 | 131.80 ± 24.3 | 10.8 ± 2.4* | 6.06 ± 0.6* |
Note. Values were reported as mean ± SD. Relative liver weight is % body weight; *A difference at P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
