Serum biochemical analysis of mice treated with aloe-emodin for 4 weeks.
| Biochemical Factors | Aloe-emodin 0.1% | Aloe-emodin 1% | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALT (IU/L) | 57 ± 1.5 | 60 ± 1.7 | 56.2 ± 2.2* |
| AST (IU/L) | 84 ± 2.9 | 86 ± 4.2 | 87.1 ± 4.1* |
| ALKP (IU/L) | 101 ± 6.3 | 98.7 ± 4.7 | 97 ± 8.1* |
| Cr (mg/dL) | 0.36 ± 0.21 | 0.38 ± 0.3 | 0.37 ± 0.32* |
| Urea (mg/dL) | 31 ± 1.1 | 30 ± 3.5 | 27.1 ± 2.4* |
| Na (mg/dL) | 166 ± 4.3 | 167 ± 6.8 | 165 ± 5.3* |
| K (mg/dL) | 5.5 ± 0.9 | 6 ± 1.1 | 6.1 ± 0.8* |
ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; Cr = creatinine; K = potassium; Na = sodium.
* No significant differences were observed between control and treated groups (p > 0.05).
