	water	0.15 (g/kg)	0.3 (g/kg)	0.6 (g/kg)
BLA (mmol/L)	11.24 ± 0.4	9.76 ± 0.5 *	9.46 ± 0.5 *	8.13 ± 0.4 **
BUN (mmol/L)	10.72 ± 0.4	7.35 ± 0.3 **	7.13 ± 0.4 **	6.98 ± 0.3 **
HG (mg/g liver)	9.81 ± 0.9	17.3 ± 2.56 *	18.8 ± 2.43 **	14.76 ± 2.02 *

Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (n = 10–12); * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 compared with the control group in the same row.
