Table 5. Liver functions in all test groups.
Group | ALT (U/L) | AST (U/L) |
---|---|---|
Normal | 11.66 ± 7.09 b | 7.63 ± 7.30 b |
Control | 21.83 ± 4.28 a | 13.73 ± 5.29 a |
1.6FFAP | 6.53 ± 2.46 c | 5.66 ± 3.49bc |
3.2FFAP | 4.61 ± 2.39 c | 2.11 ± 0.60 c |
8.0FFAP | 3.73 ± 2.49 c | 1.93 ± 1.23 c |
Plasma ALT and AST from all test groups were examined to study the effect of FFAP on liver function. The result showed FFAP diets significantly decreased plasma ALT and AST, p<0.05. All values are Mean ± SD, n = 9. All data was tested using Duncan’s multiple range tests, where significance between groups (p<0.05) is denoted by dissimilar lowercase letters. Normal: Normal diet; Control: Normal diet + 0.2% cholesterol; 1.6FFAP: control diet + 1.6%FFAP; 3.2FFAP: control diet + 3.2% FFAP; 8.0FFAP: control diet + 8.0%FFAP.
