Table 1

Body weight of animals in the experimental groups treated with mineral oil (NC), olive oil, and unrefined babassu oil using 0.02, 0.06, and 0.18 mL/dose twice a day.

Treatment	Initial weight (g)	Final weight (g)
Mineral oil (n = 10)	143.4 ± 10.1	140.6 ± 10.8	0.5193
Olive oil (n = 30)	147.8 ± 9.5	145.5 ± 9.2	0.6524
Unrefined babassu oil (n = 30)	144.1 ± 10.3	143.7 ± 10.8	0.8884
	0.2621	0.3679

Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Analysis of variance complemented by the Tukey test with showed no differences between means.
