Table 1. Changes in physiological parameters of Long-Evans rats after oral administration of G. tsugae.
| Parameters/ Groups | Control | GTDE | D-gal | D-gal + GTDE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight Gain (%) | 15.87 ± 3.62 | 15.17 ± 7.27 | 19.59 ± 7.18 | 18.47 ± 2.77 |
| Brain Weight (g) | 2.22 ± 0.04 | 2.26 ± 0.06 | 2.32 ± 0.07 | 2.36 ± 0.05 |
| Hemoglobin (g/dL) | 13.75 ± 0.59 | 13.67 ± 0.50 | 12.97 ± 1.05 | 13.67 ± 1.01 |
| RBC (109/mL) | 5.38 ± 0.38 | 6.69 ± 0.95 | 8.45 ± 1.64 | 8.37 ± 2.03 |
| WBC (106/mL) | 3.29 ± 0.27 | 3.04 ± 0.41 | 2.63 ± 0.29 | 3.43 ± 0.68 |
1 The differences in body weight, brain weight, hemoglobin level, RBC count, and WBC count were not statistically significant. The physiological parameters were compared using the one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Means ± SEM, n = 7.
