TN: group of rats receiving distilled water, TP:
group of rats receiving concomitantly high
fat/high sucrose diet and ethanol 40°, ME: group treated with Manihot esculenta leaf
aqueous extract in addition to high
fat/high sucrose diet and ethanol 40°. Values are means ± SEM (n = 6); ## p <0.01 compared to TN
group; and * p <0.05 compared to the TP group.
