Effects of Apocynum venetum tea extract (AVTE) on organ coefficient in aging mice induced by d-galactose.
| Organs | Normal (mg/g) | Control (mg/g) | 250 (mg/g) | 500 (mg/g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart | 6.41 ± 0.11 aA | 5.95 ± 0.06 b | 6.39 ± 0.08 a | 6.64 ± 0.12 a |
| Liver | 38.61 ± 3.22 a | 36.89 ± 1.3 b | 37.86 ± 2.08 a | 38.69 ± 2.69 a |
| Spleen | 2.58 ± 0.03 b | 2.1 ± 0.14 c | 2.62 ± 0.11 b | 2.94 ± 0.17 a |
| Kidney | 16.18 ± 1.64 a | 13.66 ± 1.56 b | 15.23 ± 1.23 a | 16.46 ± 2.18 a |
a–c Mean values with different letters in the same line are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. A Values are mean ± SD of different organ coefficient. Organ coefficient (mg/g) = organ weight (mg)/body weight (g).
