Treatment group	Fetal weight (g)	Crown-rump length (cm)
Group I, control pair-fed	4.9 ± 0.2	3.6 ± 0.2
Group II, K250	4.8 ± 0.3	3.7 ± 0.2
Group III, K500	4.7 ± 0.3	3.5 ± 0.1
Group IV, K750	3.9 ± 0.3a	3 ± 0.2a
Group V, ad libitum control	5 ± 0.1	3.8 ± 0.2

K250: khat extract 250 mg/kg; K500: khat extract 500 mg/kg; K750: khat extract 250 mg/kg; results are summarized as mean ± SDM; ^asignificantly different (p < 0.01) from ad libitum and pair-fed control groups; one-way ANOVA.
