Effect of orientin on the incidence of AgNORs in crypt per nuclei.
| Groups | Number of rats | Number of crypts observed | Mean cells/crypt column | Number of AgNORs/nucleus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 6 | 25 | 25.1 ± 3.56 | 1.27 ± 0.11a |
| DMH | 6 | 25 | 28.6 ± 3.46 | 1.63 ± 0.14c |
| Orientin | 6 | 25 | 25.5 ± 3.17 | 1.32 ± 0.11ab |
| Initiation | 6 | 25 | 27.8 ± 3.37 | 1.58 ± 0.13c |
| Post initiation | 6 | 25 | 27.0 ± 3.13 | 1.48 ± 0.11bc |
| Entire period | 6 | 25 | 26.3 ± 2.81 | 1.39 ± 0.18ab |
Group 1 - control, Group 2 - DMH, Group 3 - Orientin, Group 4 - Initiation, Group 5 - Post initiation, Group 6 - Entire period. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of six rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript letter (a–d) differ significantly at P < 0.05 (DMRT).
