(A) Effect of BFPD on liver BCL-2 intensity of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, **=p < 0.05 when HgCl2 group was compared to Silymarin 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). (B) Effect of BFPD on hepatocyte cell count of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, ****=p < 0.05 when compared across 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). (C) Effect of BFPD on liver GPx genes expression of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, *=p < 0.05 when control was compared to HgCl2 group, and **=p < 0.05 when HgCl2 group was compared Silymarin 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)
