| Placebo | p value | Propolis | p value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Day 90 | Day 0 | Day 90 | |||
| GGT (U/L) | 21.3 (±5.7) | 18.9 (±7.0) | 0.178 | 20.3 (±9.1) | 18.4 (±6.7) | 0.372 |
| GOT (U/L) | 19.0 (±2.8) | 19.7 (±3.0) | 0.383 | 20.6 (±2.9) | 20.1 (±3.5) | 0.554 |
| GPT (U/L) | 23.9 (±8.8) | 22.0 (±6.3) | 0.406 | 22.9 (±7.8) | 20.3 (±6.7) | 0.167 |
Values represent mean ± SD for 32 placebo subjects and 35 propolis subjects. Nonsignificant differences were found between the groups (intragroup t Test: p > 0.05). GGT: gamma glutamyl transferase; GOT: glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase; GPT: glutamate-pyruvate transaminase.
