Table 2 Effect of 5 ml/kg dose of purified bioglycerol on some organs weight in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. Number of used rats (n = 24)

From: In vivo evaluation of the toxicity, genotoxicity, histopathological, and anti-inflammatory effects of the purified bioglycerol byproduct in biodiesel industry

Parameters	Control (distilled water)		Bioglycerol dose (5 ml/kg)
Parameters	Male	Female	Male	Female
Mean Liver weight (g)	2.20^a ± 0.20	2.24^a ± 0.41	2.25^b ± 0.46	2.29^b ± 0.54
Mean Kidney weight (g)	0.33^a ± 0.05	0.31^a ± 0.06	0.39^b ± 0.03	0.35^b ± 0.05
Mean Heart weight (g)	0.30^a ± 0.06	0.31^a ± 0.06	0.31^b ± 0.02	0.33^b ± 0.02

In each horizontal row and same sex, means with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05)
