Table 1 The effect of MEPO on the bodyweight of adult female Wistar rats

Groups		Mean ± SEM	p value	t value
A (control)	Pre-administration	160.67 ± 3.76
A (control)	Post-administration	179.67 ± 10.20	0.155	− 1.747
B (400 mg/kg MEPO)	Pre-administration	154.33 ± 3.18
B (400 mg/kg MEPO)	Post-administration	182.33 ± 2.40	0.002*	− 7.024
C (800 mg/kg MEPO)	Pre-administration	143.67 ± 13.13
C (800 mg/kg MEPO)	Post-administration	161.33 ± 7.06	0.302	− 1.185

Data were analyzed using student dependent T test and data were considered significant at p < 0.05. *p < 0.05 means significant. SEM means standard error of the mean. MEPO means methanolic extract of Portulaca oleracea
