G1 (Control): 0.00% artichoke leaf extract; G2: 1.00% artichoke leaf extract; G3: 2.00% artichoke leaf extract; G4: 3.00% artichoke leaf extract. There is a statistical difference between the data shown with different letters in the same row (P < 0.05). ALP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, Alanine aminotransferase; GLU, glucose; P, phosphorus; Ca, calcium; ALB, albumin; CHOL, cholesterol; CRE, creatine; TP, total protein; GLOB, globulin
