Values are represented as the mean ± SD (n = 6). a–c Mean values within a row with different superscript letters were significantly different (p < 0.05). AFB1, aflatoxin B1; GSPE, grape seed proanthocyanidin extract; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase; ALP, alkaline phosphate; TP, total protein.
