Effects of Silymarin on Organ Index of Liver, Lung and Kidney in Mice Induced by D-Gal/LPS (N=10/Group)

Groups	Liver Index	Lung Index	Kidney Index
Normal	42.15±1.5aA	5.34±0.18b	13.96±0.55b
Model	34.10±2.63c	4.43±0.28c	11.26±0.49d
Silymarin-L	36.76±0.87c	5.32±0.17b	12.52±0.29c
Silymarin-H	38.78±1.3b	6.08±0.26a	14.84±1.07a

Notes: Model, treated with D-Gal/LPS (250 mg/kg·bw and 25 mg/kg·bw) injection; silymarin-L: treated with silymarin (75 mg/kg·bw) oral administration; silymarin-H: treated with silymarin (150 mg/kg·bw) oral administration. ^a–dThere was significant difference in different letters in the same column (P < 0.05), which was determined by Duncan’s multiple range test. ^AValues presented are the mean±standard deviation (SD) of different organ coefficients. Organ index (mg/g) = organ weight (mg)/body weight (g).
