| Groups | Initial BW (g) | Final BW (g) | Mean BW | BW difference | BW Diff in (%) | Mean LW | LWBR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 178.1 | 351.5 | 261.7 ± 127.0 | 173.4 | 66.26 | 12.69 ± 1.41 | 4.85 |

| C | 227.1 | 258.1 | 242.6 ± 21.92 | 31.0 | 12.77 | 10.55 ± 1.22 | 4.35 |
| D | 212.6 | 258.0 | 235.3 ± 32.12 | 45.4 | 19.29* | 10.07 ± 1.56 | 4.28 |
| E | 240.3 | 342.1 | 291.2 ± 72.02 | 101.8 | 34.9* | 12.43 ± 1.89 | 4.27 |
| F | 217.9 | 249.9 | 233.9 ± 22.63 | 32.0 | 13.68 | 10.19 ± 1.58 | 4.36 |

LWBR = (Mean LW/Mean BW) × 100. BW diff in% = (BW diff/Mean BW) × 100
BW body weight of rats, LW liver weight of rats, LWBR liver weight body ratio
