ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; CRP: C reactive protein.
Group I: Normal control; Group II: Negative control; Group III: Positive control; Group IV: ESBCI (28 days drug treatment); Group V: ESCI (28 days drug treatment); Group VI: ESBCI (14 days drug treatment); Group VII: ESCI (14 days drug treatment).
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 animals in each group.
Comparisons were made between: b: Group II vs. groups III, IV, V, VI and VII. c: Group III vs. groups IV, V, VI and VII.
