TABLE 3.

Serum values of liver enzymes activity in common carp exposed to four meloxicam levels: control (0 mg L⁻¹), low (0.1 mg L⁻¹), medium (1 mg L⁻¹) and high (2 mg L⁻¹) for a 28‐day period.

Parameters	Control	Dose
		Low	Medium	High
AST	122 ± 15.7	126.3 ± 13.3	117 ± 17.9	119 ± 11.8
ALT	6.7 ± 2.2a	8.3 ± 1.5b	10.5 ± 2.1c	15 ± 2d
ALP	35.7 ± 5.1a	33.7 ± 4.3a	63.5 ± 4.95b	91 ± 6.7c
LDH	732.3 ± 117.4	747.7 ± 112	736 ± 95.2	697 ± 108

Note: Values (mean ± SE; n = 6) are expressed in IU L⁻¹. Statistically significant differences at the different doses are indicated by different letters (p < 0.05).

Abbreviations: ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase.
