ALT: alanine aminotransferase, AST: aspartate transaminase, ALP: alkaline phosphatase. P1 is the p value of comparing nano-curcumin with placebo before intervention. P2 is the p value of comparing nano-curcumin with placebo after intervention. P3 is the p value of comparing data in nano-curcumin group between before and after using pair T test. P4 is the p value of comparing data in placebo group between before and after using pair T test.
