Body weight and daily food intake gains (g) over 10 days in female adolescent rats.

	Control	rhGH	AM 100	AM 300	p-Value
Body weight gain (%/rat)	38.26 ± 3.99	37.88 ± 6.86	41.13 ± 7.69	34.20 ± 8.07	0.118
Daily food intake gain (g/cage)	597.3 ± 7.7 #	613.5 ± 19.6 #	650.0 ± 22.1 #	565.3 ± 12.6 #	0.002 **

Control: distilled water (10 mL/kg, p.o.) group; rhGH: recombinant human growth hormone (20 μg/kg, s.c.) group; AM 100: A. macrostemon (100 mg/kg, p.o.) group; AM 300: A. macrostemon (300 mg/kg, p.o.) group. Each value is the mean ± standard deviation of 12 rats or three cages. Statistical significance was determined using ANOVA: ** p < 0.01. ^# indicates statistical significance based on Tukey’s multiple comparison.
