3.3. Digestive Ingestion
The results presented in Figure 2 show that the administration of the ethylic ether extract of the plant does not
cause significant changes in the food and water intakes of the experimented rats when compared to the control
rats during the first and the second week of observation. However, food consumption in g/day/rat was greatly
reduced due to the administration of the 5000 mg/kg dose and this variation was significant in the first week and
not in the second week.
