Table 6. Influence of the ethanolic extract of P. americana seed flour on the serum concentration of total proteins in female guinea pigs.
| Proteins concentrations (gm/dl) | Control (n = 6) | Doses of ethanolic extract of Persea americana seed flour (mg/kg bw) | p-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EE100 (n = 6) | EE200 (n = 6) | EE400 (n = 6) | |||
| Total proteins | 4.40 ± 0.33 | 4.11 ± 0.36 | 4.20 ± 0.55 | 4.23 ± 0.65 | 0.79 |
| Albumin | 2.49 ± 0.50 | 2.51 ± 0.28 | 2.51 ± 0.27 | 2.63 ± 0.25 | 0.90 |
| Globulin | 1.91 ± 0.34 | 1.60 ± 0.19 | 1.68 ± 0.37 | 1.60 ± 0.39 | 0.36 |
(a, b) In the same row, means with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). n = number of samples; p = probability; Control = 1 ml/kg bw of distilled water; EE100, EE200, and EE400 = ethanol extract of P. americana seed flour at the doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw, respectively.
