Table 2.

Relative organ weights (% body weight) of control and ELTA treated mice by gavage consecutively for 28 days. Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 5) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA, p > 0.05 for all ELTA treated groups compared with the control group. Relative organ weight (%) = (organ weight/28-day body weight) × 100.
