  1. Naringin and GFJ were administered 1 h before IF. n = 3.
  2. Values represent mean ± SEM, this were obtained with the WinNonlin 4.0 software. aStatistically significant difference with respect to the value obtained from treated group with IF (300 mg/kg).
  3. One way ANOVA, pos hoc Student-Newman-Keuls (p ≤ 0.05).
  4. Kruskal-Wallis, pos hoc Student-Newman-Keuls (p ≤ 0.05).
