Values are expressed as mean ± Standard Error of Mean (S.E.M). ^α p<0.05 significant when compared to control. ^βp<0.05 significant when compared to TN. ^δ p<0.005 significant when compared to ALC + MDTN. ^εp<0.05 significant when compared to ALC + HDTN. TN= Tiger nut alone (1.8 mg/kg body weight of Tiger nut); ALC + LDTN= Alcohol + Low Dose Tiger nut (0.6 mg/kg body weight of Tiger nut); ALC + MDTN= Alcohol + medium dose Tiger nut (1.2 mg/kg body weight); ALC + HDTN= Alcohol + high dose Tiger nut (1.8 mg/kg body weight); ALC= Alcohol alone (1 ml Alcohol three times a week).
