drugs on the weights of a normal albino mice.
Methodology: In this study, total 39 adult albino
mice were used and were divided in three groups containing 13 animals in each.

8 weeks. Group II and Group III served as experimental group and mice in these
groups were given 0.5 mg of Slim Smart and Ultra Slim Plus drugs dissolved in 1
ml of distilled water respectively once a day for 8 weeks. To support these
results weights of kidneys were also measured and relative tissue width index
was calculated and compared with control group.
Results: The weight of the animals increased
in the experimental groups as compared to the control group. The overall
difference for final weight among three groups was highly significant with
p-value <0.01. When final weight compared group wise, the experimental
groups had significantly higher weight as compared to control with p-values
<0.01and 0.028
