Table 2

Effect of Polygonum multiflorum on thymus and splenic weights in ovariectomized mice.

	SHAM	OVX		PM 100	PM 200
Thymus weight (mg)	22.9 ± 2.05	26.5 ± 5.24	23.2 ± 1.06	19.3 ± 2.67	20.8 ± 1.09
Spleen weight (mg)	84.2 ± 7.68	82.7 ± 2.96	75.3 ± 8.22	63.7 ± 3.9	70.5 ± 3.6

Each value represents the mean ± SD for . and significantly different from ovariectomized mice. PM 100 and 100 mg/mL; PM 200 and 200 mg/mL.
