Effect of Cocoa Butter and Sunflower Oil Supplementation on Performance, Immunoglobulin, and Antioxidant Vitamin Status of Rats

Table 6

Effects of sunflower oil and cocoa butter, alone or in combination, on Ig G and Ig M levels in rats.

Parameters	Control	Sunflower oil group	Cocoa butter group	Sunflower oil + cocoa butter group	P value
Ig G (ng/mL)	1414.66 ± 154.32; (𝑛: 11)	1522.79 ± 143.92; (𝑛: 10)	1789.97 ± 162.17; (𝑛: 11)	1717.47 ± 212.08; (𝑛: 11)	NS
Ig M (ng/mL)	378.95^a; (𝑛: 12)	387.96^a; (𝑛: 10)	139.40^b; (𝑛: 11)	125.96^b; (𝑛: 11)	0.000

Data within the same row with different superscripts letter ^a,b are significantly different. In terms of Ig G, the data were expressed as mean ± standard error. Ig M values were expressed as median. NS: Not significant and 𝑛: number of animals.
