| Group | Globin | Albumin | Glutelin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 1.257 ± 0.266 | 1.257 ± 0.266 | 1.257 ± 0.266 |
| Positive | 2.142 ± 0.234 | 2.142 ± 0.234 | 2.142 ± 0.234 |
| Low dose group | 1.672 ± 0.286 | 2.065 ± 0.235∗ | 2.005 ± 0.218∗ |
| Moderate dose group | 2.031 ± 0.249∗ | 2.237 ± 0.284∗∗ | 2.064 ± 0.240∗ |
| High dose group | 1.951 ± 0.293∗ | 2.094 ± 0.295∗ | 1.967 ± 0.203∗ |
Comparisons among groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni's test. ∗ indicated P < 0.05, and ∗∗ indicated P < 0.01 compared with control group.
