Table 1. Effect of quercetin on DOX-induced liver enzyme indices: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) changes in mice.
Enzyme assays (U/L) | Group I (Control) | Group II (QCT) | Group III (DOX) | Group IV (DOX + QCT) |
ALT | 32.1±4.1 | 29.2±5.3 | 245.5±24.7* | 105.3±30.1** |
AST | 190.2±26.5 | 159.2±21.2 | 718.5±52.4* | 442.5±38.9** |
Values are expressed as mean ± SD for six animals in each group.
P<0.01 vs. the control and quercetin-treated mice. ** P<0.05 vs. DOX-treated mice.
