Effect of pulp (GPE) and peel/seed extracts (GPSE) of gabiroba fruits after exposure to CCl₄ on aminotransferases activity in HepG2 cells. Cells were pretreated for 1 h with GPE or GPSE (both at 1000 μg/mL) followed by exposure to CCl₄ (4 mM) for 6 h. After supernatants were collected and analyses of the enzymatic activities of AST (A) and ALT (B) were performed. Each bar presents mean ± SD of three independent experiments. (^*p < 0.0001 and ^{^}p < 0.05 vs. control and ^#p < 0.0001 and ^Δp < 0.001 vs. CCl₄. One way ANOVA and Bonferroni test, p < 0.05).
