(a) Comparison of absolute body weight of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, Paired sample t-test, *=p < 0.05 when compared initial and final weight of the groups. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg). (b) Effect of BFPD on percentage (%) weight change of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05 when compared across the group. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg). (c) Effect of BFPD on Liver body weight ratio of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05 when compared across the group. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg)
