| Toxicity Parameters | Doses of Potassium Dichromate (mg/kg bw) | p | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 10 | 20 | 40 | ||
| Ovary weight (g/100 g of bw) | 0.02 ± 0.01 | 0.02 ± 0.00 | 0.02 ± 0.01 | 0.02 ± 0.00 | 0.87 |
| Ovarian tissue protein (g/dL) | 2.14 ± 0.30 a | 1.24 ± 0.27 b | 1.17 ± 0.33 b | 0.63 ± 0.13 c | 0.00 |
| Uterine tissue protein (g/dL) | 0.42 ± 0.08 a | 0.33 ± 0.03 ab | 0.27 ± 0.08 bc | 0.21 ± 0.05 c | 0.01 |
a,b,c: values with the same letter per row are not significantly different (p > 0.05).
