Data expressed as mean ± SD Normal values in U/L(AST = 10–34;ALT = 10–44;cholesterol e triglyceride = until 45). Control – were fed a choline-deficient diet for four weeks; Vitamin E – were fed a choline-deficient diet + vitamin E (200 mg/day) for four weeks; Vitamin C (n = 6) – were fed a choline-deficient diet + vitamin C (30 mg/Kg/day) for four weeks.
