Effect of S. japonicum infection on the body weight, liver weight, and LBWR of mice.

Infection time (weeks)	Body weight (g)		Liver weight (g)		Liver/body weight ratio (g)
	Control group	Model group	Control group	Model group	Control group	Model group
6	20.8 ± 1.1	25.3 ± 2.8	0.97 ± 0.11	1.92 ± 0.1	4.65 ± 0.61	7.68 ± 0.97
10	21.1 ± 0.9	26.1 ± 0.4	1.12 ± 0.07	2.32 ± 0.3	5.33 ± 0.48	9.27 ± 1.16

Changes of liver index (%) in control and infected mice at different time points after S. japonicum infection. Data were presented as mean ± SEM of 6-8 mice.
