Fig. 3From: Chaya (Jatropha tanjorensis) leafs protect against sodium benzoate mediated renal dysfunction and hepatic damage in ratsThe effect of methanolic leaf extract of Jatropha tanjorensis on sodium benzoate mediated alteration in serum ALT and AST in experimental rats. Data presented as Mean ± standard deviation (n = 6). *Significantly different from normal control group at P < 0.05, # significantly different from group SBT at P < 0.05. Control: Animals were given distilled water only; SBT: Animals were treated with oral administration of sodium benzoate (200 mg/kg bw) only; SBT + JG1: Animals were given sodium benzoate (200 mg/kg bw) + J. tanjorensis extract (200 mg/kg b.w); and SBT + JG2: Animals were given sodium benzoate (200 mg/kg bw) + J. tanjorensis extract (500 mg/kg b.w)Back to article page
