Table 2. Effects of etanercept on plasma transaminase activities and ammonia levels.
Control | AOM-induced ALF | ||
Vehicle-treated | Etanercept-treated | ||
AST (U/L) | 112.9±8.0 | 3674±306.5* | 1093±190.1† |
ALT (U/L) | 64.5±3.9 | 3699±397.6* | 390.0±74.8† |
Ammonia (µM) | 101.4±5.3 | 500.4±70.4* | 129.5±12.0† |
Mice were administered etanercept 30 min prior to azoxymethane (AOM) or saline (Vehicle). Control mice received only saline. Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 12 in each group.
