Serum biochemical parameters of BDL rats

	Sham‐PBS (n = 6)	BDL‐NS (n = 7)	BDL‐DHI (n = 7)
Serum ALT (U·L−1)	45.64 ± 2.15	131.7 ± 12.67a	84.28 ± 15.68b
Serum AST (U·L−1)	160.88 ± 8.61	780.63 ± 63.03a	509.11 ± 99.75b
Serum γ‐GT (U·L−1)	0.38 ± 0.06	64.45 ± 4.79a	38.58 ± 10.82b
Serum ALP (U·L−1)	232.92 ± 14.36	407.36 ± 37.35a	277.2 ± 32.34b
Serum HA (ng·mL−1)	33.27 ± 6.55	611.06 ± 147.64a	389.77 ± 93.61
Serum LN (ng·mL−1)	61.91 ± 11.81	77.15 ± 3.67	69.29 ± 5.62
Serum PCIII (ng·mL−1)	15.82 ± 1.44	31.62 ± 1.86a	23.96 ± 1.34b

The values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 in sham group; n = 7 in BDL‐NS/BDL‐DHI group),

^a P < 0.05; significantly different from sham group,

^b P < 0.05; significantly different from BDL‐NS group; ANOVA followed by Tukey's test.
