  1. T0: Group rely on Basic Experimental Diet
  2. T1: Group rely on Basic Experimental Diet+ theaflavins supplementation @ 1 g
  3. T2: Group rely on Basic Experimental Diet+ Thearubigins supplementation @ 1 g
  4. T3: Group rely on Basic Experimental Diet+ Supplementation of theaflavins+ thearubigins @ 0.5 + 0.5 g, respectively
  5. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10)
  6. One way anova was applied to check the overall behavior of the study parameter to elaborate the effect of treatments on selected parameter of rats at the termination of study. To evaluate the differences among the mean LSD test was applied. Values in same column within each parameter with different letters were significantly different from each other (p ≤ 0. 05)
