Table 1.
Biochemical measured parameters of Cholesterol, Triglyceride, liver enzymes (ALT and AST), Albumin and Total protein concentrations in blood serum of Albino rats orally administered by Moringa seeds at different doses, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight, compared to untreated (Control) group. Measured parameters are in mean (±SE).
