Fig.: Effect of feeding A. racemosus and milk supplemented with A. racemosus on reduced glutathione content of liver homogenate and RBC lysate. Mean in each bar with different superscripts (a, b) were significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. (C: control, S: A. racemosus (Shatavari), SM: A. racemosus (Shatavari) supplemented milk)

Fig.: Effect of feeding A. racemosus and milk supplemented with A. racemosus on lipid hydroperoxide (TBARS) values of liver homogenate and RBC lysate. Mean in each bar with different superscripts (a, b, c) were significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. (C: control, S: A. racemosus (Shatavari), SM: A. racemosus (Shatavari) supplemented milk)

Fig.: Effect of feeding A. racemosus and milk supplemented with A. racemosus on lymphocyte proliferation index. Mean in each bar with different superscripts (a, b) were significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. (C: control, S: A. racemosus (Shatavari), SM: A. racemosus (Shatavari) supplemented milk)

Fig.: Effect of feeding A. racemosus and milk supplemented with A. racemosus on phagocytic activity of macrophages. Mean in each bar with different superscripts (a, b) were significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. (C: control, S: A. racemosus (Shatavari), SM: A. racemosus (Shatavari) supplemented milk)
