Fig. 11.

The graph depicts the ratio of feed intake to body weight of rats per week following administration of the DCM leaf extract of Gnidia glauca for 6 weeks. Each bar represents the replicate measurement n = 5 expressed as Mean ± S.D at 99% confidence interval. The weekly changes in feed intake among the studied groups with a similar lower-case letter (such as [a & ab], [b, ab, & bc], [c, bc & cd], [d, cd & de] or [e & de]) are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.01). However, the weekly percentage changes in obesity index of rats with different lower-case letters (such as a, b, c, d & e) indicates statistical difference in means among the studied groups (p ≤ 0.01). Inferential statistics were performed using One way-ANOVA to test for statistical differences among studied groups. Tukey's post hoc test was then done for pairwise separation and comparison of means.
