Table 4 Effect of SACE on testis weight, relative testis weight in rat

Treatment	Tissue	Relative testis	%DNA
Treatment	weight (g)	Weight (g)	Fragmentation
Control	6.03 ± 0.66++	0.060 ± 0.0166++	4.3 ± 0.0946++
20 mg/kg KBrO₃	7.76 ± 0.504**	0.077 ± 0.0024**	14.0 ± 0.08**
50 mg/kg Silymarin + KBrO₃	7.03 ± 0.008++	0.035 ± 0.0018++	6.0 ± 0.063++
100 mg/kg SACE + KBrO₃	6.66 ± 0.26++	0.066 ± 0.0073++	8.6 ± 0.060**++
200 mg/kg SACE + KBrO₃	6.27 ± 0.451++	0.062 ± 0.0051++	6.8 ± 0.01**++
200 mg/kg SACE alone	5.95 ± 0.189++	0.03590.00189++	4.33 ± 0.06++

Mean ± SE (n = 6 number), ** indicate significance from the control group at P < 0.01 probability level, ++ indicate significance from the KBrO₃ group at P < 0.01 probability level.
