Ellagic Acid Suppresses the Oxidative Stress Induced by Dietary-Oxidized Tallow

Table 2

Effects of ellagic acid on the net changes in the whole body weight of the rabbits.

Duration (weeks)	Net body weight change (g)
	Control	OT + 50EA	OT + 100EA	OT + 150EA	100EA	OT
1	0.0^a	36.3^b	−418.7^c	−443.3^d	−245.2^e	−48.5^f
2	26.3^a	22.3^a	−431.0^b	−471.3^c	−266.3^d	−62.3^e
3	37.3^a	5.66^b	−438.4^c	−511.7^d	−312.6^e	−84.3^f

Data are the mean of replicate () readings and represented as the mean. Different letters (a-f) in the same week represent the significant difference at using Tukey’s test. OT represents oxidized tallow; EA is ellagic acid; 50, 100, and 150 represent the respective dose amounts in mg per kg of rabbit body weight.
