  1. The data were presented as number (percentage). Numbers with different superscripts are significantly different. aP < 0.05 versus negative control group (CO) and bP < 0.05 versus positive control group (PC).
  2. CO = Negative control group administered with vehicle (corn oil).
  3. PC = Positive control group administered with BPA at 10 mg/kg body weight.
  4. TH = Tualang honey group administered with Tualang honey at 200 mg/kg body weight + BPA at 10 mg/kg body weight.
  5. THC = Tualang honey control group administered with Tualang honey at 200 mg/kg body weight.
