Effect of LYC on body and liver weights of BPA-intoxicated female Wistar rats.
| Parameter | Experimental groups | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | LYC | BPA | BPA + LYC | |
| F.B.wt (g) | 164.80 ± 4.58ab | 171.40 ± 9.60a | 142.40 ± 3.53b | 149.30 ± 11.81ab |
| B.wt.G (g) | 54.20 ± 4.51b | 70.40 ± 4.23a | 34.40 ± 4.72c | 53.90 ± 3.29b |
| Abs. liver wt. (g) | 5.97 ± 0.43 | 6.56 ± 0.52 | 5.39 ± 0.19 | 5.40 ± 0.49 |
| Rel. liver wt. (%) | 3.61 ± 0.18 | 3.81 ± 0.10 | 3.79 ± 0.09 | 3.62 ± 0.16 |
Values are expressed as means ± SE (n = 7) in every group. BPA: bisphenol A; LYC: lycopene; F.B.wt: final body weight; B.wt.G: body weight gain; Abs. liver wt.: absolute liver weight; Rel. liver wt.: relative liver weight. Within the same row, means with different superscript letters differ significantly at P ≤ 0.05.
