Protective Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Grape Pomace against the Adverse Effects of Cypermethrin on Weanling Female Rats

Figure 1

Percent of weekly body weight gain (a) and relative liver (b) and kidney (c) weights of weanling female rats exposed to cypermethrin for 28 days and the protective effect of ethanolic extract of grape pomace (100 and 200 mg/kg b.wt.). The values represented are the means ± S.D. Means having the same letters are not significantly different from each other, . Groups: control (I), grape pomace extract at 100 mg/kg b.wt. (II), grape pomace extract at 200 mg/kg b.wt. (III), cypermethrin (IV), cypermethrin and extract at 100 mg/kg b.wt. (V), and cypermethrin and extract at 100 mg/kg b.wt. (VI). Percent of weekly body weight gain = (initial b.wt. − final b.wt./no. of weeks) × 100; relative liver and kidney weight = (liver or kidney weight (g)/final b.wt. (g)) × 100.
