40 mg/Kg BW of Y. alpina	106.07 ± 2.42^aba	80.20 ± 1.36^bb
200 mg/Kg BW of Y. alpina	105.89 ± 2.89^aba	86.67 ± 1.05^abb

Values are presented as of replicate measurements (28 days). Means with similar superscript alphabets within the same column are not significantly different (; One-Way ANOVA with Tukey’s Post hoc); means with different subscript alphabets within the same row are significantly different (; unpaired Student’s t-test); control group rats received distilled water (10 ml/Kg BW; p.o).
