Effects of dietary kerosene supplementation on hepatic and renal functions. At day 28, blood was collected via cardiac puncture following an overnight fast and analyzed for hepatic and renal functions. Serum was obtained and analyzed for AST, ALT, total protein and albumin to determine hepatic functions while creatinine levels were used to determine the renal function. Data show an average of five animals per group ±SEM. Different letters show significantly different values (p < 0.05); ALT: alanine transaminase; AST: aspartate transaminase; CRET: creatinine.
