Experimental details were described in Table 1. The dosages (g/kg/day) based on crude herbal material were determined with the amount of ingested diet (g/kg/day) and drug concentrations in the diet. Values given are the means ± SEM, with . versus mice fed with ND; versus mice fed with HCLD. Statistical significant differences were determined using a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test or post hoc analysis.
