Effects of EPS on body weights and liver indexes on ALD.
| Groups | Body weights (g) | Liver weights (g) | Liver index (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | Final | |||
| NC | 24.32 ± 2.77 | 36.68 ± 2.17 | 3.15 ± 0.13 | 8.59 ± 0.38 |

The values were reported as the Mean ± S.D. of ten mice in each group. Means with the same letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s post-hoc test).
(d)P < 0.01, statistically significant compared with NC group.
(c)P < 0.01, statistically significant compared with MC group.
(b)P < 0.05, statistically significant compared with MC group.
