Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and triglyceride (TG) levels in experimental mice with CCl4-induced hepatic damage.
| Group | AST (U/L) | ALT (U/L) | TG (pg/mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 6.20 ± 0.43 e | 1.54 ± 0.22 e | 150.00 ± 26.15 e |
| Control | 21.13 ± 0.93 a | 17.98 ± 1.53 a | 563.75 ± 16.18 a |
| Silymarin | 12.13 ± 0.35 d | 4.09 ± 0.44 d | 208.75 ± 20.06 d |
| LPLT | 17.75 ± 0.57 b | 12.36 ± 2.23 b | 385.00 ± 57.72 b |
| HPLT | 13.85 ± 0.55 c | 8.45 ± 0.64 c | 273.75 ± 32.89 c |
Values presented are the means ± standard deviation (N = 10/group). a–e Mean values with different letters in the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05) and those with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (p > 0.05) according to Duncan’s new MRT. Silymarin group: 50 mg/kg b.w. silymarin treatment dose; LPLT group: 50 mg/kg b.w. polyphenols of Liubao tea (PLT) low (L) treatment dose; and HPLT group: 100 mg/kg b.w. polyphenols of Liubao tea (PLT) high (H) treatment dose.
