Each value represents the mean ± SEM, n = 5. TN: normal rats receiving distilled water (10 mL/kg); TSAT: normal satellite observed 14 more days after stopping every treatment; BC 200, BC 400, and BC 800: animals receiving the aqueous extract of the mixture of B. pilosa and C. citratus at the respective doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg; SAT: satellite extract at the dose of 800 mg/kg observed 14 days after stopping every treatment.
