Average daily water intake.

Treatment	Average daily water intake (ml)
	Male	Female
Control	143.21 ± 6.83^aa	90.07 ± 2.00^ab
40 mg/Kg BW of Y. alpina	137.86 ± 7.01^aa	80.20 ± 1.36^bb
200 mg/Kg BW of Y. alpina	146.07 ± 7.52^aa	86.67 ± 1.05^abb

Values are presented as of replicate measurements (28 days). Means with similar superscript alphabets within the same column are not significantly different (; One-Way ANOVA with Tukey’s Post hoc); means with different subscript alphabets within the same row are significantly different (; unpaired Student’s t-test); control group rats received 10 ml/Kg BW of distilled water orally.
