Lycopene: Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant Effects toward Bisphenol A-Induced Toxicity in Female Wistar Rats

Table 1

Effect of LYC on body and liver weights of BPA-intoxicated female Wistar rats.

Parameter	Experimental groups
	Control	LYC	BPA	BPA + LYC
F.B.wt (g)	164.80 ± 4.58^ab	171.40 ± 9.60^a	142.40 ± 3.53^b	149.30 ± 11.81^ab
B.wt.G (g)	54.20 ± 4.51^b	70.40 ± 4.23^a	34.40 ± 4.72^c	53.90 ± 3.29^b
Abs. liver wt. (g)	5.97 ± 0.43	6.56 ± 0.52	5.39 ± 0.19	5.40 ± 0.49
Rel. liver wt. (%)	3.61 ± 0.18	3.81 ± 0.10	3.79 ± 0.09	3.62 ± 0.16

Values are expressed as means ± SE () in every group. BPA: bisphenol A; LYC: lycopene; F.B.wt: final body weight; B.wt.G: body weight gain; Abs. liver wt.: absolute liver weight; Rel. liver wt.: relative liver weight. Within the same row, means with different superscript letters differ significantly at .
