Groups	Body weight (g) ± SD
	Day 0	Day 7	Day 14
(A) Mice treated with HEEF
Control	22.0 ± 0.7	23.7 ± 0.9	24.8 ±0.6
2000 mg/kg	23.3 ± 0.9	24.0 ± 0.7	24.9 ± 0.5
5000 mg/kg	22.1 ± 0.3	23.2 ± 0.7	24.1 ±0.2
(B) Mice treated with HEAI
Control	22.0 ± 0.7	23.7 ± 0.9	24.8 ± 0.6
2000 mg/kg	22.1 ± 0.7	23.3 ± 0.3	24.6 ± 0.3
5000 mg/kg	22.0 ± 0.6	22.5 ± 1.0	24.7 ± 0.8

Female mice were administered a single dose of each plant extract at doses of 2000 mg/kg and 5000 mg/kg and mean body weight was recorded before the treatment (day 0) and on days 7 and 14. The control group received 200 µL of distilled water. HEEF; hydroethanolic extracts of E. floribundus; HEAI: hydroethanolic extracts of A. indica.
