Effect of SE on body weight change resulting from CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity. Mice were given CCl4 dissolved in olive oil intraperitoneally twice per week for 8 weeks. The control and SE groups received olive oil. At all periods of the experiment, mice were treated daily with SE or saline. Body weights were measured weekly throughout the study. Body weight and body weight change were calculated from the beginning of the study. Animals were euthanized 72 h after the final CCl4 injection. Panels a, b, c, and d indicate body weight, body weight change ratio, liver weight ratio, and kidney weight ratio, respectively. The data represent the mean ± SD of 6 mice per group; ‡p < 0.01 (control versus SE group), **p < 0.01 (control versus CCl4 group), and #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 (CCl4 versus CCl4 + SE group).
