Effect of activated charcoal on the serum levels of Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in Lead acetate-treated male albino Wistar rats.

Treatment	AST (U/L) (U/L)	ALP (U/L)	ALT (U/L)
Group 1: Deionised water (10 ml/kg)	55.77 ± 0.88	180.79 ± 0.17	17.67 ± 2.05
Group 2: Lead acetate (60 mg/kg)	76.77 ± 9.20a	211.71 ± 9.63a	35.53 ± 2.82a
Group 3: Lead acetate (60 mg/kg) + AC (1000 mg/kg)	53.82 ± 5.93b	183.31 ± 15.07b	19.39 ± 5.00b

Data were expressed as mean ± SD. ^aSignificantly different when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). ^bSignificantly different when compared to the lead acetate-treated group (P < 0.05) (n = 6).
