Effects of treatments on body weight (g), absolute (g) and relative liver weights (g/100 g bw), daily food intake (g) in experimental groups
| Parameters | Control | (Se + Vit E) | BPA | BPA/(Se + Vit E) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial body weight (g) | 275.66 ± 4.2a | 271.83 ± 2.91a | 270.25 ± 2.51a | 270.5 ± 2.31a |
| Final body weight (g) | 300 ± 5.94b | 310.62 ± 6.91b | 345.5 ± 9.4a | 291.75 ± 5.3 b |
| Body gain weight (%) | 8.16 ± 2.35b | 8.87 ± 1.51b | 19 ± 2.03a | 3.8 + 2.13b |
| Absolute liver weight (g) | 8.12 ± 0.58a | 7.92 ± 0.36a | 8.374 ± 0.35a | 8.28 ± 0.3a |
| Relative liver weight(g/100 g bw) | 2.6 ± 0.1a | 2.7 ± 0.11a | 2.934 ± 0.1a | 2.63 ± 0.05a |
| Food intake (g/day/rat) | 19.75 ± 0.77a | 21.7 ± 0.9a | 17.62 ± 1b | 17.09 ± 2.7b |
Values are given as mean ± SEM for groups of 7 animals each.
a–c
Means in a row without a common superscript letter differ (p < 0.05) as analyzed by two-way ANOVA and the TUKEY test.
