Parameter	Study Groups				ANOVA Test p-Value *
Parameter	Control Group (N = 6)	Mg Group (N = 6)	SiNPs Group (N = 6)	SiNPs + Mg Group (N = 6)	ANOVA Test p-Value *
ALT (U/L)	24 ± 4.47	23.50 ± 5.01 ^bc	47.50 ± 3.94 ^a	35 ± 4.52 ^ab	F = 37.975 p < 0.001 **
AST (U/L)	100.83 ± 11.02	94.50 ± 5.39 ^bc	152 ± 11.83 ^a	133.50 ± 4.85 ^ab	F = 56.66 p < 0.001 **

The data are expressed as mean ± SD. SD: standard deviation. SiNPs: silica nanoparticles. Mg: magnesium. ALT: alanine aminotransferase. AST: aspartate aminotransferase. N: number. U/L: units per liter. *: Significant (p ˂ 0.05). **: Highly significant (p ≤ 0.001). ^a: Significant in relation to the control group. ^b: Significant in relation to SiNPs group. ^c: Significant in relation to SiNPs + Mg group.
