Group (S)	Treatment (mg/kg; p.o.)	Total protein (g/dl)		% change from baseline
		Initial	Final
I. Normal	Untreated	7.43 ± 0.62	8.85 ± 0.92	+19
II. Control	Vehicle Orally	4.10 ± 0.31	4.45 ± 0.28**	+08
III. ATV	10	4.15 ± 0.46	4.35 ± 0.18 ns	+05
IV. HCQ	200	4.39 ± 0.12	4.96 ± 0.46 ns	+13
V. ATV + HCQ	5 + 100	4.23 ± 0.18	5.26 ± 0.74*	+24
VI. ATV + HCQ	10 + 200	4.29 ± 0.27	6.00 ± 0.68**	+40

Values are expressed as Mean ± S.D. (n= 6). Statistical analysis was carried out by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Students t-test.
