Evaluation of Mallotus oppositifolius Methanol Leaf Extract on the Glycaemia and Lipid Peroxidation in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats: A Preliminary Study

Table 2

Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the liver of diabetic rats treated with different doses of MP extract.

Groups	Treatments	No. of animals	MDA levels (g/g tissue) mean ± SEM
I	Dist. Water	6	0.866±0.02 (0.159)
II	MP 100 mg/kg	6	0.154±0.01^∗ (0.031)
III	MP 200 mg/kg	6	0.173±0.03^∗∗ (0.001)
IV	MP 400 mg/kg	6	1.401±0.04 (0.121)
V	Glib. (2 mg/kg)	6	0.187±0.10^∗ (0.017)

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ^∗𝑃 values () < 0.05, ^∗∗𝑃 values < 0.001 compared to the control groups were considered significant.
