Results are expressed in means ± SD (n = 5); mean values with different letters as superscripts in a column are considered significant at p < 0.05.
Note: The alphabets in superscript are statistical codes signifying the statistical relationships between two variables. Same alphabet as superscript means that there was no statistical difference between the body weights before and after extract administration.
