Results of biochemical tests performed on the serum of control and treated (5000 mg/kg B.W.) rats in the acute toxicity study for 14 days.

Acute toxicity
Biochemical parameters	Control	Treatment (5000 mg/kg)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (U/L)	58.18 ± 3.12	50.78 ± 3.67
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (U/L)	232.76 ± 9.78	193.32 ± 8.43
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (U/L)	222.64 ± 11.45	211.60 ± 20.53
Urea (mmol/L)	6.33 ± 0.25	6.19 ± 0.51
Protein (g/L)	72.62 ± 0.91	64.82 ± 1.96

Data were represented as mean ± SEM, n = 5. There was no significant difference between the control and treated rats in their biological parameters tested. p > .05.
